Recipe: Corn Dough Bread (Bread Machine)

Corn Dough Bread (Bread Machine)
Source: rosskat from New York, USA

1 1/2 cups water
5 Tbs corn oil
2 eggs
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups Masa Rica ( Instant corn dough mix ) *
1 Tbsp active dry yeast

Prepare the dough in the dough cycle of your bread machine according to instructions. Add either more flour or water to achieve the correct bread machine consistency. When the cycle is done, remove dough and gently deflate and form dough into a loaf to fit a large 9 x 5 loaf pan. Let rise puffy ( more than double in the pan ). Bake in a preheated 350F oven 30 to 40 minutes or until golden and tested done. Cool 5 minutes in the pan and carefully remove. Yield: 1 large loaf

* Note: Masa Rica is the instant corn meal used for traditional Hispanic recipes for tortillas, tamales etc. Goya is one brand commonly found in the ethnic section. I have also made the bread with stone ground white cornmeal and also
regular yellow cornmeal with great results. I have only used the bread machine cycle to prepare the bread dough which can also be baked in the bread machine for a 2 lb. loaf.
