How to Make Old Fashioned Anadama Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the boiling water and molasses. Stir until the molasses is dissolved. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  4. Add the yeast mixture and the cooled molasses mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
  5. Stir in the melted butter.
  6. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  8. Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
