Anadama Bread

Thanks to Aunt Janelle for suggesting the Betty Crocker Cookbook..... this is one you HAVE to make.

Bring to boil in saucepan
1.5 cups water
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup yellow corn meal

Stir in and cool to lukewarm:
1/3 cup molasses (though i think i might use 1/2 cup next time and a little less water
1.5 tbsp shortening (I used butter though and half as much)

mix in separate bowl:
1 package yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water

when the cornmeal is cool add the yeast and 3.5 to 4.5 cups of sifted flour

knead for a few minutes and let rise. Punch down and turn into greased 9x5x3 loaf pan. Let rise until double. Bake at 375 until dark brown.

oh yeah after you put it in the pan brush it with a little butter and sprinkle with corn meal and salt if desired.

YUMMY
