This is called a batter bread because the dough is soft and does not require kneading. Just mix it, put it in the pan to rise and bake. Homemade bread doesn’t get much easier than that!
Cornmeal
4 1/2 to 4 3/4 cups all-purpose* or bread flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 packages regular or quick active dry yeast (4 1/2 tsp)
2 cups milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1. Grease bottoms and sides of 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 2 1/2 inches, with shortening; sprinkle with cornmeal.
2. Mix 3 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the sugar, salt, baking soda and yeast in large bowl. Heat milk and water in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until very warm (120° to 130°). Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
3. Stir in whole wheat flour, wheat germ, oats and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a stiff batter. Divide batter evenly between pans. Round tops of loaves by patting with floured hands. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place about 30 minutes or until batter is about 1 inch below tops of pans.
4. Heat oven to 400°.
5. Bake about 25 minutes or until tops of loaves are light brown. Remove from pans to wire rack; cool.
*If using self-rising flour, omit salt and baking soda.
