Anadama Bread

 Ingredients:

2 tablespoons warm water
2-1/4 teaspoons yeast
1 cup + 2 tbsp warm water
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 bread flour
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 cups whole white flour

Allow the yeast to bloom in the two tablespoons of water.

Meanwhile, combine remaining water, butter, molasses, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir well.

Gradually add the yeast and remaining ingredients to the bowl and knead until dough pulls away from the bowl. 

Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour. Punch out and place in a loaf pan or on a parchment paper. Cover and let rise until doubled in size and bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes.
