Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Butter or neutral oil
Instructions
Lightly grease a microwave-safe rectangular container or loaf pan (approximately 6x6 inches) and sprinkle the bottom with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a microwave-safe measuring cup, combine milk and water. Heat in the microwave for about 30–45 seconds until the mixture is warm to the touch (approximately 110°F or 43°C). Do not overheat.
Gradually pour the warm milk and water mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring with a spoon or spatula. Mix until a thick, sticky batter forms.
Transfer the batter into the prepared container, spreading it evenly with greased hands or a spatula. Sprinkle a little extra cornmeal on top for texture if desired.
Cover the container loosely with a damp paper towel or a microwave-safe plate to prevent the dough from drying out.
Let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes at room temperature to allow the yeast to activate and slightly rise.
Microwave the container on high power for 4–5 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. (For a standard 1,000-watt microwave, start with 4 minutes and check for doneness.) The bread is done when it springs back lightly to the touch and the edges pull away from the container.
Carefully remove the container from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the bread cool for 5–10 minutes before turning it out onto a cutting board.
Slice and serve toasted with your favorite toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
