I took <a href=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/?p=4920\"><em>Healthy Bread Recipes<\/em><\/a> off the shelf and chose a recipe for &#8220;Anadama Bread&#8221; to make for this blog. Only after I had made the bread did I discover my mistake: I&#8217;ve already covered this cookbook!<\/p>\n<p>The bread was very very good, so I decided to go ahead and share the recipe.<\/p>\n<p>I love the name for this bread: &#8220;Anadama&#8221; from &#8220;Anna, damn her!&#8221; According to <em>Healthy Bread Recipes<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;Colonial American folk stories about the name Anadama accredit Anna&#8217;s husband for this bread. The hungry fisherman returned home to find Anna gone and a supper of cornmeal mush and molasses. The legend is he cursed her while preparing his own bread from the meal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Wikipedia gives a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anadama_bread\" target=\"_blank\">slightly different version<\/a> of the legend.)<\/p>\n<p>This bread has a rich and hearty flavor, and is great in sandwiches, as peanut butter toast, with stews and spaghetti. It&#8217;s good and healthy enough to qualify as a &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/?p=338\" target=\"_blank\">daily bread<\/a>&#8220;, and it makes me wonder why I don&#8217;t vary my old standby more often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anadama Bread<\/strong><a name=\"recipe\"><\/a><br \/>\n<em>makes 1 9&#215;5-inch loaf<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 1\/8 cup boiling water<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oatmeal)<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons cornmeal (I used a coarse-grind type, Bob&#8217;s Red Mill medium grind)<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons molasses (1 1\/2 ounces)<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1 cup whole wheat flour (5.3 ounces; not white whole wheat flour)<\/li>\n<li>2 cups bread flour (10.6 ounces)<\/li>\n<li>2 tablepsoons gluten flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup dry milk<\/li>\n<li>2 teaspoons yeast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(This recipe is written for a bread machine.)<\/p>\n<p>With the bread machine off off, put the boiling water in the pan, then add the oatmeal and cornmeal and stir to mix. Let stand 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Add the remaining ingredients and select a dough cycle that has a rising step. When the cycle is complete, remove the dough and place in a large loaf pan.<\/p>\n<p>I baked my loaf at 385\u02da for 25 minutes; the bread did not look done and I when tested it with an instant read thermometer, it was about 145\u02da. The loaf was already pretty brown so I turned the oven down to 350\u02da and baked for another 20 minutes. It tested close to 198\u02da and was perfect. Well, it rose a little too high! But the texture was great throughout.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5708\" src=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/AnadamaBread.jpg\" alt=\"Anadama Bread\" width=\"450\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/AnadamaBread.jpg 450w, http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/AnadamaBread-300x286.jpg 300w, http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/AnadamaBread-315x300.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dammit, I made a mistake!
