Polenta


The recipe for Struan bread includes polenta.  Does this mean a particular grain/dry ingredient, or the polenta I've seen described as "cornmeal mush" which is wet?  Where can I buy it?  Sorry, I'm clueless :(

The polenta that Peter uses is just a coarsely ground corn meal.  You can use regular fine-ground dry corn meal, but it'll blend into the dough more.  Polenta leaves little golden crunchy bits a bit like seeds that make more interesting texture and flavor variations in each bite.
