Considered an "old" recipe when it was printed in the St. Cloud Times on July 19, 1954

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water

  • 1/2 cup yellow corn meal

  • 2 Tablespoons shortening

  • 1/2 cup molasses

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 package active dry yeast (or 1 cake compressed yeast)

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 5 cups sifted flour (more or less)

Directions

  • Boil 2 cups of water; stir cornmeal into the boiling water. When thoroughly mixed add shortening, molasses, and salt. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and cool to lukewarm.
  • Sprinkle or crumble yeast into 1/2 cup water; use warm (not hot) water for active yeast; lukewarm water for compressed yeast. Stir until dissolved.
  • When cornmeal-molasses mixture is lukewarm, stir in dissolved yeast and enough flour to make a stiff dough. Turn dough out on a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place is a greased bowl; cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk -- about 1 hour.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured board. Cut dough in half and form each half into a loaf. Place loaves in 2 greased bread pans, 7-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches. Cover with a cloth. Let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk--about 1 hour.
  • Bake in a hot (400 degree F) oven 50-60 minutes.
