Cornmeal White Bread

submitted by rosskat

from NY, USA

2 tsp yeast
2 Tbsp honey
1/4 cup warm water
3 eggs fork beaten
3 to 5 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup buttermilk
2 tsp salt
1 tsp coarse cracked black pepper
1 Tbsp oil
Glaze:
1 egg yolk
2 Tbsp buttermilk

Dissolve the yeast in warm water and honey until foamy. In a large bowl
place the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, oil eggs and yeast mixture and
mix vigorously with a spoon. Then add enough additional flour , stirring
until the mixture clings together in a ball. Knead smooth and elastic
adding only enough additional flour to prevent sticking. Form dough in a
ball. Place in an oiled bowl, turn to coat with oil and cover with a damp
cloth and set in a warm place until dough doubles in volume. When double,
gently deflate and form in a free form loaf(s ) as desired ( round -oblong
etc. ) and place on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Slash top of
dough in several places. Brush on the glaze. Let rise double in a warm
place. Bake in a 350F about 30 minutes or tested done.Cool completely on
rack before slicing. A good bread for soups and stews. Note: since this
makes a very large loaf, one may want to make 2 loaves and freeze one.
Note: This bread doesn't contain much fat and can dry out if not kept well
wrapped or eaten in the first day or so. Also good toasted.
