- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Dry milk powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Directions
Step 1
Measure all ingredients carefully to ensure the best results.
Step 2
Add the water, cornmeal, molasses, and butter into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Generally, liquids go in first.
Step 3
Add the all-purpose flour, dry milk powder, and salt on top of the liquid ingredients.
Step 4
Make a small well in the center of the flour mixture, without touching the liquid, and add the active dry yeast.

Set the bread machine to the basic or white bread setting and select the corresponding crust preference (light, medium, or dark).
Step 6
Start the machine and let it knead, proof, and bake the bread. This process typically takes about 3 hours, depending on your machine.
Step 7
Once the cycle is complete and the bread is baked, carefully remove it from the bread machine pan and place it on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Enjoy your fresh Anadama bread plain, with butter, or as a base for sandwiches.
