Honey Cornmeal Yeast Bread

"What a tasty combination--honey and cornmeal. It makes wonderful toast in the morning and great sandwiches. I have made this for many years and it always rises perfectly into nice, round loaves. It is easy to make and not too many ingredients."

  1. How much is "1 package" of dry yeast? I have a 7g sachet of instant dry yeast. Will this work?

  1. I am a novice with yeast, so this recipe appealed to me. I could not be happier with how the loaves turned out. The cornmeal and honey flavors are subtle but perfectly balanced. I did cover the loaves with aluminum foil after 20 minutes. The instructions are clear and easy-to-follow, if even I could do it! Thanks so much, Mimi.
     
  2. Sorry, I forgot to add the "stars" to this recipe. It is indeed, and excellent bread.
