Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon Butter or neutral oil

Directions

Step 1

Lightly grease a microwave-safe rectangular container or loaf pan (approximately 6x6 inches) and sprinkle the bottom with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe measuring cup, combine milk and water. Heat in the microwave for about 30–45 seconds until the mixture is warm to the touch (approximately 110°F or 43°C). Do not overheat.

Step 4

Gradually pour the warm milk and water mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring with a spoon or spatula. Mix until a thick, sticky batter forms.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared container, spreading it evenly with greased hands or a spatula. Sprinkle a little extra cornmeal on top for texture if desired.

Step 6

Cover the container loosely with a damp paper towel or a microwave-safe plate to prevent the dough from drying out.

Step 7

Let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes at room temperature to allow the yeast to activate and slightly rise.

Step 8

Microwave the container on high power for 4–5 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. (For a standard 1,000-watt microwave, start with 4 minutes and check for doneness.) The bread is done when it springs back lightly to the touch and the edges pull away from the container.

Step 9

Carefully remove the container from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the bread cool for 5–10 minutes before turning it out onto a cutting board.

Step 10

Slice and serve toasted with your favorite toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
