Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 packet instant yeast 2 ¼ teaspoons
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
- cornmeal to sprinkle in pan
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add 2 cups of the flour along with the sugar, salt, baking soda, and instant yeast; stir to combine.
- In a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk, water, and oil. Microwave on high heat in 30-second increments until the mixture is between 120°F and 130°F. If you don't have a thermometer, the liquid should feel quite hot (hotter than lukewarm), but not so hot that it would be uncomfortable as bath water.
- Add the hot liquid to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until combined. Mixture should resemble muffin batter in consistency. Add the last ½ cup of flour, ¼ cup at a time, until the mixture forms a very sticky, soft dough.
- Lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan, and sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal.
- Scoop the dough into the prepared pan. If needed, use a rubber spatula sprayed with nonstick cooking spray to level the top of the dough out a bit.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap lightly sprayed with cooking spray and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has just barely crowned over the rim of the pan, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. When you look at the rim of the pan from eye level, you should see the dough, but it shouldn't be more than about 1/4" over the rim.
- While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Remove the cover and bake the bread for 22 to 27 minutes, until it's golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning the bread out of the pan and onto a rack to cool. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Adapted from King Arthur Flour
- Makes 1 8x4-inch loaf
- To coat the sides of the loaf pan with cornmeal, I just tossed in about a 1/4 of cornmeal and tilted the pan and tapped the sides until the inside was thoroughly coated.
- If you are using an instant-read thermometer to check your bread’s doneness, you will want to watch for an interior temperature of 190°F.
