📋 Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Carefully measure all the ingredients into bread machine pan in the order that I’ve listed them. |
| 2 | Select the ‘dough’ cycle on your bread machine and let it work its magic. |
| 3 | When the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine pan and tip it out onto a floured surface. |
| 4 | Roll or pat the dough into a square slightly longer than the bread pan, then roll it into a cylinder shape. |
| 5 | Place the dough in a lightly greased loaf tin, gently pressing it into the corners and leveling the top. |
| 6 | Leave the dough to rise in a warm, draught-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has approximately doubled in size. |
| 7 | If desired, dampen the top of the dough with a little milk or water and sprinkle with the extra coarse cornmeal for added texture. |
| 8 | Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). |
| 9 | Bake the cornbread for 20-30 minutes, or until the crust is a beautiful golden color and the bread is cooked through. |
| 10 | Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 11 | Slice and serve the double cornbread warm with butter, alongside your favorite soups, stews, or chili. Enjoy! |
🌽 Variation:
For a fun twist, shape the dough into two long ‘sausages’ and twist them together before placing them in the loaf tin. This creates a visually appealing loaf with a unique texture.
