Cornmeal bread - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for fresh yeast. Use 1/3 of the amount of fresh yeast called for (e.g., if the recipe requires 3g fresh yeast, use 1g instant yeast). No proofing is needed—just mix it directly with the dry ingredients.
Store cooled bread in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature when ready to eat.
Yes! Replace the milk with almond or oat milk, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) instead of the egg, and substitute vegan butter or oil for the butter. Note that texture may vary slightly.
This could be due to old yeast, milk that was too hot (killing the yeast), or a cold proofing environment. Ensure your yeast is fresh, liquids are warm (not hot) to the touch, and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot.
Absolutely! A greased 9x5-inch loaf pan works well. The baking time may vary slightly—start checking for doneness around 45 minutes.
This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or chili. For breakfast, try it toasted with honey or jam. It also makes great sandwiches with hearty fillings like roasted vegetables or deli meats.
Yes! Fold in 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Parmesan) or 2 tbsp fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) during the final kneading for extra flavor. Adjust salt if using salty add-ins.
Tap the bottom—if it sounds hollow, it's done. Alternatively, the internal temperature should reach 190–200°F (88–93°C) when measured with a food thermometer.
