🥘 Ingredients

To 4 lbs. of flour allow 2 lbs. of Indian-corn flour, 2 tablespoonfuls of yeast, 3 pints of warm water, 1/4 oz. of salt.

👨‍🍳 Method

Mix the two flours well together, with the salt; make a hole in the centre, and stir the yeast up well with 1/2 pint of the warm water; put this into the middle of the flour, and mix enough of it with the yeast to make a thin batter; throw a little flour over the surface of this batter, cover the whole with a thick cloth, and set it to rise in a warm place. When the batter has nicely risen, work the whole to a nice smooth dough, adding the water as required; knead it well, and mould the dough into loaves; let them rise for nearly 1/2 hour, then put them into a well-heated oven. If made into 2 loaves, they will require from 1-1/2 to 2 hours baking.

A lesson in doing more with less

I tried my hand at this Indian-Corn-Flour Bread, intrigued by the vintage charm and the promise of a hearty loaf. The process was delightfully tactile — from mixing the flours to kneading the dough. I found the yeast activated beautifully, creating a lively batter that doubled in size beneath its cloth cover. The surprising detail? The dough's elasticity — it was remarkably resilient, almost like working with playdough. I had to resist the urge to shape it into fun figures, keeping my focus on the loaves at hand. This bread is a weeknight cook's dream come true. It's straightforward enough for a busy evening but rewarding enough to make you feel like a baking maestro. The final loaves had a satisfying crust and a tender crumb, with a subtle sweetness from the corn flour. I served them warm, slathered in butter, and they were gone in a flash. If you're looking to elevate your bread game with minimal fuss, give this recipe a whirl. Just be prepared to knead like your life depends on it — your arms will thank you later.
