Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup corn flour or corn meal
1 cup white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 ea egg
1 cup milk (2%)
3 tbsp raw honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp butter to grease the pan

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.
