Cornmeal Loaf with Hot Water Dough

I discovered a "cornmeal dough" in a cookbook.
I was fascinated by this, and wanted to use this. After several experiments with ingredient ratios, I was able to create this recipe.
If you just use the hot water dough, it will have a crumbly texture since it's made of cornmeal. But if you touch it with your hands it turns sticky and glue-like.
However, since it's less sticky and glutinous than regular hot water dough made with wheat flour, it doesn't affect the kneading or rising, so it's easy to use.
Please be sure to use absolutely boiling hot water, to turn the flour glutinous! For 1.5 small square loaves. Recipe by Osshosan

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put the cornmeal in a heatproof dish, and pour boiling hot water over it. Mix with chopsticks, then bring together with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap. (This is the cornmeal hot water dough.)
- 2
Leave at room temperature until cool, and use as-is. During the hot summer months cool it in the refrigerator. Make sure it won't affect the temperature of the dough when you knead it.
- 3
Put the yudane and all the other ingredients except for the butter in a bread machine, and start the 'dough only' program. Add the butter 7 to 8 minutes into the program.
- 4
When the dough is done, divide it into 3 portions and round off each portion. Leave to rest for 15 minutes. In the wintertime, moisten and wring out a kitchen towel and microwave it for 20 seconds. Cover the dough with the kitchen towel.
- 5
Round off the dough balls again, put into the bread pan and leave to rise (2nd rising) until the pan is 80 to 90% full.
- 6
Bake for 16 minutes at 200°C. Turn the pan on its side, bake for 7 minutes, then turn on the other side and bake for another 7 minutes. Drop the pan on a counter top to 'shock' it, and take the bread out. Cool on a rack.

If you use 60 g of boiling water and 190 g of water, the bread won't be as pillowy, but it will have a crispier texture.

Cornmeal Waffles Cornmeal Waffles
I am very lucky to live by a place that grinds fresh cornmeal, buckwheat and flour. If you cannot get cornmeal fresh, you can use regular cornmeal. This is not a heavy waffle. It is light and crisp. It is not too "gritty" because of the cornmeal. This is an old family recipe. Deneen Flowers -
Fluffy Bread Dough Fluffy Bread Dough
I bought a ton of extra-strong bread flour. However, using a lot of it at once is kind of a waste, so I blended the strong flour and cake flour to make my own, and made the dough with it. This dough is suitable for either sweet bread or savory bread. If you don't have extra-strong bread flour, use 240 g of bread flour and 60g of cake flour.Adjust the heat of the milk based on the season, and adjust the amount of milk as well based on the season and how floury the dough is.This dough is very easy to make.It won't get hard the next day and will still be delicious.All you need to do to recreate the freshly baked fluffiness is just heat it up in a 500w microwave for 20 seconds.

Easy Natural Leaven Loaf Easy Natural Leaven Loaf
Compared to dough made with dry yeast, does dough made with a natural starter rise up more slowly? I added 10g of extra bread flour to the usual shoku pan dough recipe, to make it less likely to over-proof.If using another type of bread starter which is slower to react than raisin starter, add more starter liquid and adjust the total amount of liquid so that it's about 160-170 g.The usual way of forming dough for this type of loaf bread - folding, rolling, and so on - is easy to get wrong if you are not used to handling dough, so in this recipe the dough is simply rounded off. Since dough that's formed like this rises easily, I've included measures for preventing over-proofing. Recipe by Choco dayo cookpad.japan -
