English Muffin Bread

The taste and texture of this bread is similar to an English muffin, so it tastes best when toasted. I love to visit my aunt, Gladys Torbenson, who serves this bread toasted and slathered with one of her delicious homemade jams. ... former innkeeper Sally Krueger

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups water

1 Tablespoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

1 package yeast

2 Tablespoons cornmeal

In a small saucepan, heat the water, sugar and salt to lukewarm, until sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine 1 cup of the flour and the package of yeast. Add the liquid mixture and beat until well blended, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining flour by hand, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

Using a paper towel, wipe a large bowl with a small amount of canola oil, set the dough in the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and set the bowl in a warm place to rise. Let rise until double in size, about 60 minutes. Punch down the dough, knead a few times, cover with the towel and let rest 10 minutes.

While dough is resting, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle a small mount of cornmeal in the bottom of the pan and swirl to coat, about 1 Tablespoon. Put dough in the loaf pan, sprinkle another tablespoon of cornmeal over the top of the loaf and bake until golden, about 30 to 45 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool. Slice and toast.

Yield: 1 loaf (9-1/4 x 5-1/4 inches).
