Add the water and cornmeal to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and allow it to cool to lukewarm (about 100Β°F-110Β°F).
Once the mixture has cooled, pour it into the pan of your bread machine.
Add the molasses, butter, and salt on top of the cooled cornmeal mixture.
Layer the bread flour and dry milk powder over the liquid ingredients, ensuring that the flour covers all the damp components.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the instant yeast. Be careful not to let the yeast touch the wet ingredients initially.
Place the bread pan into your automatic bread machine and choose the Basic or White Bread setting, with a medium crust preference, if applicable.
Start the machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread per the program's time (approximately 3 hours).
Once the cycle is complete and the bread is baked, carefully remove it from the machine. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing.
