How to Make Anadama Bread Abm

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) and 1 teaspoon sugar. Sprinkle 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast over the water and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
Add ½ cup molasses to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
