Ingredients
- 200 grams polenta (cornmeal)
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 250 milliliters low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 200 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the polenta, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, egg, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not over mix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Add the water to the batter and stir gently until it is smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 10
Serve the low-fat polenta bread warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with soup, salad, or can be enjoyed on its own with a spread of low-fat butter or jam.
