Anadama bread

[serenecooking]

I looked up some versions of anadama bread, found a vegan version on fatfree.com, and adapted it to what I had on hand. So far, it's the best bread I've made in my new bread machine. It didn't *look* like bread dough, it didn't *rise* like bread dough, but the loaf that resulted was gorgeous and tasty, and stonebender and I ate most of a loaf yesterday. I made more for tonight's party, along with an Ethiopian stew. They both went over really well.

Here's how I did it:

Place wet ingredients in breadmaker (or do it in the order your bread
machine says to):

1 1/2 cups water
1/3 cup molasses

Add dry ingredients:

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon gluten
1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Put 2 1/4 tsp. yeast into a depression in the top of the dry
ingredients. Run machine on basic setting.

Sounds a lot like the "Colonial Bread" I mentioned a while back (http://pyrzqxgl.livejournal.com/3010.html) that's definitely #1 on the bread-machine hit parade here, though I add spices as well.

It is a very good bread. stonebender had a slice with butter for breakfast yesterday morning and I had a slice of it with the scrumdillisius creamed spinach you also made on Thursday.
