Arizona Cornbread
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 30 min.
YIELD: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
Unlike other cornbreads, this one uses yeast. With oil and sour cream, this moist, tender loaf has a bit of zip to it from the peppers. —Margaret Pache, Mesa, Arizona
Ingredients
-
1 cup cornmeal
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
1 cup sour cream
-
1/2 cup canola oil
-
1/2 cup chopped green onions
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
1-1/4 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

1 cup cream-style corn
-
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
-
5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour

Melted butter
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients; set aside. In a saucepan, heat the sour cream, oil and onions to 120°-130°. Add to cornmeal mixture; beat until blended. Beat in eggs, cheese, corn and jalapenos. Stir in enough flour to form a stiff dough.
-
2.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
3.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into 2 loaves. Grease two 9x5-in. loaf pans; dust with additional cornmeal. Place loaves seam side down in prepared pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
-
4.
Brush butter over loaves. Bake at 375° until golden brown, 30-35 minutes; cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
