Delicious Brazilian Sweet Corn Bread
Ingredients
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 grams dry yeast
- approximately 500g all-purpose flour
Toppings
- 1 egg yolk
- cornmeal
Preparation
Blend milk and corn in a blender, then strain through a sieve
Pour the mixture into a bowl and add oil, egg, sugar, salt, and yeast; mix well
Gradually add flour, stirring with a spoon, until the dough starts to clump
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand until well combined
Continue adding flour as needed and knead until the dough is soft and elastic
Place the dough in a warm, draft-free place, cover with plastic and a kitchen towel, and let rise for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in volume (rising time may be longer on cooler days)
Once risen, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, punch down to remove air, and shape into loaves
Place in a greased and cornmeal-dusted pan, brush with egg yolk, and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal
Let rise again until doubled in volume
Bake in a medium oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown
