Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Mix together corn flour, white whole wheat flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg lightly, add milk, honey and oil and whisk well.
  • Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until there are no more lumps.
  • Pour into a greased 9 x 5" loaf pan. Bake 35 minutes.
  • Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then remove it to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Corn flour makes this bread tender and fluffy. But don't worry if you only have cornmeal available - it will still make a tasty bread with a texture more similar to traditional cornbread.
I also recommend using white whole wheat flour, but regular whole wheat flour will work as well. The bread will be just be a bit more dense as it has a higher gluten content than white whole wheat, and the color will be a bit darker.
