Anadama variationHello, I'm new here. My wife and I took Reinhart's whole grains class at Johnson and Wales a few weeks ago and loved it. Since then, we've been making bread at home constantly. Here's a variation of his anadama recipe using blue cornmeal. If you look closely at the picture, you can tell a purple tinge in the bread. It turned out delicious. We used a banneton to shape it during its final proof instead of baking it in a loaf pan. We also delayed fermentation in the refrigerator overnight and baked it in the morning. That seemed to have brought out the flavors in a very intense way. I really like this bread.

Blue bread
How interesting with the blue cornmeal. Did you notice it make any difference other than the color?
Blue corn meal
Yes, I do believe the blue corn meal made a difference in the flavor. In my opinion, blue corn meal has a stronger and more rustic flavor than regular cornmeal. The combination of whole wheat sourdough, honey (I used this instead of molasses), olive oil and blue cornmeal yielded an amazing flavor.
Very Nice!!
That looks great. I love PR Anadama in BBA, it's one of our favorites! What a great experience to be able to take the course. I'm sure you learned picked up a great deal of info re baking with whole grains, a challenge in itself.
Reinhart's class
Thank you! I've been experimenting with PR's whole grain recipes. After his class, we actually went back to J&W a week later and took Harry Peemoeller's artisan bread class. This was also an amazing class. We learnt so much!
