Stage 4 - 8 min.

Knead on slow speed for 5 to 8 minutes.

Note: For the best way to knead, see: A few tips for effective kneading at home.

Stage 5 - 2 hours

Gather dough into a ball, put in a bowl covered with a plastic sheet, and leave in a warm place for around 2 hours...

Stage 6

...until doubled in volume.

Stage 7 - 1 hour

Cut the dough into pieces of about 50 g and roll into balls, as for ciabatta.

Cover with a plastic sheet and leave to rest in a warm place for about an hour.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Brush the tops of the baps with a little milk.

Stage 9 - 3 min.

Cut a cross in the top if you wish.

Stage 10 - 30 min.

Bake for about 30 minutes (watch for colouring).

Remarks

These cornmeal baps are very soft, and can be eaten with either sweet or savoury additions, but are delicious on their own too.

This cornmeal bread should not be confused with the traditional American cornbread, which has a more cake-like texture.

Keeping

Several days in a towel bag.
