DIRECTIONS
|
1:
Blend flours and cornmeal. Combine 2 1/2 cups flour mixture, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir water, oil, and egg into flour mixture; beat until smooth, about 3 minutes on high speed of electric mixer.
|
|
2:
Gradually stir in enough more flour mixture to make a soft dough. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (5 to 8 minutes).
|
|
3:
Place in an oiled bowl; turn to oil top of dough. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double in bulk (about 1 hour). Punch dough down. Divide in half; shape into loaves.
Place in 2 greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Cover; let rise until double in bulk (about 30 minutes).

4:
Bake at 375°F 35 to 40 minutes, or until done.
