Ingredients for Sweet Corn Bread:

• 1 can (approx. 15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2/3 cup water
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 1/4 cups cornmeal (fine grind)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)

How to Make Sweet Corn Bread:

1. In a blender, combine the drained corn, sugar, water, milk, oil, and yeast. Blend for about 2 minutes until well combined and the corn is fully pureed.
2. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the cornmeal and salt with a whisk or spoon.
3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring well to prevent lumps. Continue adding flour and kneading the dough until it begins to pull away from your hands.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth.
5. Flatten the dough slightly with your hands and add the softened butter. Fold the dough over the butter and continue kneading until the dough is soft and elastic.
6. Dust the surface with a little more flour and shape the dough into a ball, ensuring it is no longer sticking to your hands.
7. Place the dough in a bowl, lightly dust with flour, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest until doubled in size.
8. Once risen, punch down the dough on a floured surface, divide it in half, and roll each piece out with a rolling pin, folding it a few times to ensure a smooth texture.
9. Roll the dough up like a jelly roll (don’t roll it too tightly) and place into greased and floured loaf pans (dusted with cornmeal for a nice crust).
10. Cover the loaves with a cloth and let them proof for another 30 minutes, until they double in size.
11. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush an egg wash over the loaves and sprinkle a little cornmeal on top.
12. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before unmolding.

Pro Tip:

For the fluffiest, softest texture, use fine-ground cornmeal rather than coarse.
