Every day bread; based on early American recipe

Boil 2C water

Put 1C cornmeal into a large mixing bowl, add boiling water, mix well

When batter cools add 1T dried yeast. Wait for batter to bubble.

Add 1t. salt

Add enough whole wheat flour to make an elastic/not sticky dough.

Form into a ball cover and let rise to double.

Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, place in an ungreased loafpan and let rise to double.

Place in 375* oven and bake for 45 min.

*may substitute oatmeal for cornmeal, add wheat germ if desired. I do not grease the pan and have no problem with the bread sticking, however putting melted butter over the outside of the loaf before baking might make a softer crust.
