All along I used my Ciabatta recipe as the base.

I doubt you want to know my first efforts. The bread was good but no taste
of corn. I had used only 100g! It was always pure guesswork.

What I ended up with was:

2 tsps dried yeast
2 tsps sugar
250g fine corn meal
250g strong bread flour
3 tbls oil
300 ml water

It is dense with not much rise, but dh just told me he prefers dense bread
(???) lol
The wholemeal bread I make and which he likes is fairly dense, but not so
much as this one
