Broa de Milho

Profile picture for user squattercity

I used a rye starter, which meant there was only maybe 15% wheat flour in the mix (to go with 50% yellow cornmeal and 35% rye flour) -- so the bread didn't have enough structure to resist spreading in my Dutch Oven. But it's a super-easy formula that yields an intriguing flavor. In addition to upping the wheat flour, I might try some non-traditional things, like adding toasted cashews or sunflower or sesame seeds & maybe some toasted oats in the next go round.

Nice Bake Rob - I like cornmeal in bread and you had me at 'rye'.  I'll have to give this one a try sometime.
