Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and dust the bottom with 1 tablespoon of cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, salt, and baking soda. Mix well to incorporate the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and butter over low to medium heat until the butter just melts and the liquid feels warm to the touch (between 110°F and 120°F). Do not overheat.

Step 4

Pour the warm milk mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky, which is normal for this bread.

Step 5

Transfer the dough into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornmeal over the top of the dough.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped lightly.

Step 8

Remove the casserole dish from the oven and let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter and jam, or use it as a base for your favorite breakfast sandwiches.
