OLD-FASHIONED ANADAMA BREAD
This recipe is from a wonderful cookbook called "From the Cook's Garden." It makes a sturdy homestyle bread with a hint of sweetness. I like mine spread with herbed cream cheese and topped with garden-fresh sliced tomatoes.

Steps:
- Mix the cornmeal with the 3/4 cups cold water in a medium saucepan.
- Whisk in the boiling water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- When the cornmeal mixture starts to boil, add the butter, molasses and salt.
- Cook until the mixture is the consistency of pudding-- stirring constantly.
- It should take about 7 minutes.
- Transfer this mixture to a large bowl and let it cool to lukewarm.
- Don't get impatient with the cooling, because if it's too hot (over 115 degrees farenheit), it will kill the yeast.
- It will form a skin on the top, but it's no big deal.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a small bowl and let it sit until the yeast looks foamy.
- Stir to dissolve the yeast, then add it to the cornmeal mush.
- Just an aside about the"warm" definition in case you are a beginning bread-maker without a thermometer.
- The temperature you want is when you drop water on your wrist, it feels neither cool nor hot-- test it the way you would a baby's bottle.
- I killed yeast with too-hot water when I was starting out.
- Now back to the recipe.
- Mix the all-purpose and wheat flours together and start stirring them into the cornmeal mixture, a cup at a time to make a soft, sticky dough.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured work service and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- You can add more flour as needed, but don't get carried away.
- Because of the molasses, the dough will stay sticky.
- As long as the dough isn't sticking excessively to the board, you have enough flour.
- I knead this with my stand mixer, and there's always a little"smear" of dough around the edges of the bowl.
- Form the dough into a ball and put it in a large, lightly oiled bowl.
- Turn the dough ball to get a little oil all over it.
- Let rise until double in size, about an hour.
- Punch the dough down (Really, just pick up the sides and let it collapse on itself. No need to be violent.), cover with a towel, and let rest in the bowl for 10 minutes.
- Get two 9-x5-inch loaf pans ready by lightly oiling them.
- After the dough's little rest, divide it into two pieces and shape each piece into a loaf.
- Put them in the loaf pans, and roll them around so they get a nice little coating of oil.
- Cover with a towel and let the loaves rise until they touch the top of the pan.
- That takes about half an hour.
- While they're rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees farenheit, and position your rack in the center of the oven.
- Slide the loaf pans in and bake for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375 degrees and bake until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove the loaves from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Combine 1 cup water, the cornmeal, molasses and 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer and let cool until lukewarm (105 degrees F to 110 degrees F), stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle the yeast over 1/2 cup lukewarm water (105 degrees F to 110 degrees F) in a small bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add to the cornmeal mixture along with 1 cup flour and the dry milk; mix with a wooden spoon. Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place until the dough increases slightly in volume and is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- Mix the dough with the dough hook attachment on medium-low speed, then mix in the salt and the remaining 3 to 4 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition, until the dough comes together into a firm, tacky ball. Increase the speed to medium high; knead the dough until it pulls away from the bowl, about 2 minutes. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and pliable, adding more flour as needed, about 5 minutes. Brush a large bowl with vegetable oil; add the dough, cover with a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 hour to 1 hour, 30 minutes.
- Brush a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil. Punch down the dough and turn out onto a clean surface. Shape into a smooth 4-by-8-inch loaf, then transfer to the pan. Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the loaf rises above the pan by 1/2 inch, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Uncover the pan and transfer to the oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until the bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 45 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil if it is browning too quickly.) Brush with melted butter and let rest in the pan, 10 minutes. Turn out onto a rack and let cool before slicing or freezing.
- MAKE IT AHEAD Let the bread cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 2 weeks. To serve, unwrap and thaw at room temperature for 2 hours. Reheat, wrapped in foil, at 300 degrees F until warmed through, 30 minutes.
MIMI'S ANADAMA BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)
A delicious bread. Legend has it that a fisherman, tired of his wife's cooking, came up with this blend of stuff and as he sat down to eat, he grumbled, "Anna, damn her" because he was tired of her cornmeal mush. From then on this was called "Anadama" Bread.
