Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake cornmeal bread in the oven? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Use premium quality wheat flour. You can replace fresh yeast with dry yeast at a ratio of 1:3, that is, you will need 6-7 g of dry yeast.

Step 2

Step 2
Melt the butter first and cool it.

Step 3

Step 3
Dissolve fresh yeast, sugar and salt in warm milk. Leave in a warm place for 20 minutes until a lush, foamy cap appears on the surface. If the cap still does not appear, then either the yeast is spoiled or the milk is overheated and the dough will not rise.

Step 4

Step 4
Add the egg to the dough and stir until smooth. Add sifted wheat flour and stir until smooth.

Grease a bowl with vegetable oil, place the dough in it and cover with a towel. Place in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours to rise.

Step 8

Step 8
Remove the risen dough from the bowl and knead it. Form into a semi-circular loaf and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a sieve, lightly dust the bread with wheat flour. If you wish, you can form two medium-sized loaves instead of one large one.

Step 9

Step 9
Use a sharp knife to make 2-3 cuts on the surface. Leave the bread to proof for another 20 minutes. Place the wheat cornbread in the oven preheated to 190°C for 40-50 minutes. The exact baking time depends on your oven.
