Default Success:) (Corn Bread)

The loaf I made today is a great colour and dh *loves* the flavour)

It didn't rise much and is fairly dense, but I didn't really hope for a good
rise since it was half corn and half bread flour . BUT he says the flavour
is even better than the one we bought from the baker which started me off on
this experiment! Needless to say, I am very pleased)

I have gluten on order and when it arrives, I will try it out in the same
recipe. If anyone can tell me the quantity of gluten to use with x grams
of *** I would be very grateful!

Many thanks to EVERYONE who joined this thread with suggestions and advice,
I am very grateful and have saved the recipes which I hope to work through
in the future)

Thank you all once again)

Best

I don't think I would add any more than to take the bread flour up to
extra-strong bread flour. So that would be about 2g gluten per 100g of
bread flour.

I'm not sure if adding gluten to the corn meal would help. However, it
might be worth adding 12grams per hundred as a trial.

Sounds like way too much flour. Try this.

Big Wheels Cornbread (Revised 10-14-14)

Serving Size : 1
Ingredients:
Amount Measure Ingredient - Preparation Method

I do cornbread like this: Heat up a big cast iron skillet in the oven at 425.When its heated add 1/4 cup oil or bacon grease and let it heat up too. While its heating take a large bowl and mangle together 1 3/4 cups yellow cornmeal, 1/4 cup flour, 1 T baking powder, 1 T sugar, 1 t. salt. Add one beaten egg to enough milk to make it wet, but not too wet..(about like pancake batter..around 2 cup or slightly less) and mix it up good. Make sure the pan and grease are hot, then pour the hot grease into the batter and stir it a little more. Should make a nice sizzling sound. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook till its nice and brown on top. When its done, I like to bang it out on the counter and put it back in the skillet upside down. Turn off he oven and crack the oven door and let it rest about 15 mins. Cut it like a pie and slather up with some real cow butter. You can also substitute a little honey for the sugar. Now some of these Crackers claim it don't need any sugar, but I like it better with a little sweetening in it. Posted to the BBQ List by bigwheel on Sep 29, 1998.

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

It's simply a white bread with mixed flours/grains, one of which is
corn meal.

Sounds good! I think cornbread is supposed to be dense.

Dense and kind of crumbly is normal for cornbread.

This isn't so dense, just more so than regular wholewheat and it isn't too
crumbly either. It makes find sandwiches and toasts well too.

It didn't rise much and is fairly dense, but I didn't really hope for
a
good
rise since it was half corn and half bread flour . BUT he says the
flavour
is even better than the one we bought from the baker which started me
off on
this experiment! Needless to say, I am very pleased)

I have gluten on order and when it arrives, I will try it out in the
same
recipe. If anyone can tell me the quantity of gluten to use with x
grams
of *** I would be very grateful!

Many thanks to EVERYONE who joined this thread with suggestions and
advice,
I am very grateful and have saved the recipes which I hope to work
through
in the futu))

Thank you all once again)

Best

Sounds like way too much flour. Try this.

Big Wheels Cornbread (Revised 10-14-14)

Serving Size : 1
Ingredients:
Amount Measure Ingredient - Preparation Method

I do cornbread like this: Heat up a big cast iron skillet in the oven
at
425.When its heated add 1/4 cup oil or bacon grease and let it heat up
too. While its heating take a large bowl and mangle together 1 3/4
cups
yellow cornmeal, 1/4 cup flour, 1 T baking powder, 1 T sugar, 1 t.
salt.
Add one beaten egg to enough milk to make it wet, but not too
wet..(about like pancake batter..around 2 cup or slightly less) and
mix
it up good. Make sure the pan and grease are hot, then pour the hot
grease into the batter and stir it a little more. Should make a nice
sizzling sound. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook till its
nice
and brown on top. When its done, I like to bang it out on the counter
and put it back in the skillet upside down. Turn off he oven and crack
the oven door and let it rest about 15 mins. Cut it like a pie and
slather up with some real cow butter. You can also substitute a little
honey for the sugar. Now some of these Crackers claim it don't need
any
sugar, but I like it better with a little sweetening in it. Posted to
the BBQ List by bigwheel on Sep 29, 1998.-

Mine was a 'yeasted' cornbread.

Never heard of that. Must be some kinda yankee food.


It's simply a white bread with mixed flours/grains, one of which is
corn meal.

Ok gotcha on that. Thanks.

Bigwheel is clueless, like most foodbanter folks. Yeah, Ophelia is a
Yankee... she's English living in Scotland.

Exactly. She wanted and made a yeast bread containing cornmeal.
