Gluten-Free Anadama Bread

Anadama bread, a yeast bread made with wheat flour, cornmeal and molasses, has been a New England mainstay for generations. This version substitutes gluten-free flour, but keeps the loaf’s slightly sweet flavor and hearty texture.—Doris Kinney, Merrimack, New Hampshire

12 ServingsPrep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 30 min. + cooling

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 eggs
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1-1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1-1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Grease an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan and sprinkle with gluten-free flour;
set aside.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. In a stand
mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the eggs, oil, molasses,
vinegar and yeast mixture. Gradually beat in the flour, cornmeal,
xanthan gum and salt. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Beat on medium
for 2 minutes. (Dough will be softer than yeast bread dough with
gluten.)
Transfer to prepared pan. Smooth the top with a wet spatula. Cover
and let rise in a warm place until dough reaches the top of pan,
about 40 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 20 minutes; cover loosely with foil. Bake 10-15
