Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, the active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and water until the mixture reaches a temperature of about 120–130°F (just warm to the touch and not boiling).
Gradually pour the warm milk and water into the flour mixture, stirring until combined. The batter will be thick and sticky.
Add the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans. Sprinkle the bottoms and sides of the pans with cornmeal to prevent sticking and add texture.
Divide the dough evenly between the two prepared pans. Smooth the tops of the dough with a spatula. Let the dough rise, uncovered, in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pans in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the pans immediately and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve toasted with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
