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 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.

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.
