Ingredients:

  • 1 (1/4 oz) package active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups water, warm
  • 3/4 cup milk, warm
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl combine yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup of the water; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl stir together the remaining water, milk, salt, olive oil and cornmeal.
  3. Add the yeast mixture to the cornmeal, stirring until combined.
  4. Slowly add the flour, a little at a time, until you have a soft dough that is not too sticky to work with. Adjust more or less flour as needed.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 5 minutes.
  6. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until double in bulk.
  7. Punch dough down, knead for 5 minutes.
  8. Grease a 9-inch round pie pan.
  9. Form dough into a round loaf that will fit into the pan. Place in the pan and cover, allowing to rise again in a warm place until double in bulk (about 1 hour).
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  11. Bake for 40 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped.
  12. Cool on a rack.
