yeast

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Baking powder can be a quicker leavening agent.

Mix flour, cornmeal, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine the yeast mixture with the dry ingredients.

Add milk and melted butter to the mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet.

Let the shaped dough rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
