Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
Instructions
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and sprinkle the bottom and sides with 2 tablespoons of cornmeal. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, salt, and baking soda.
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, water, and vegetable oil over low heat until warm (about 120–130°F). Do not overheat.
Gradually pour the warm liquid into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or a spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on low speed.
Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. It will be sticky, so use a lightly oiled spatula or damp fingertips to smooth the top if necessary.
Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size and reaches near the top of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the dough is rising.
Once risen, bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Toast slices as desired and serve with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
