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
  • 1/2 kilogram all-purpose flour (approximately)

Preparation

  1. In a blender, blend the milk with the corn and strain through a sieve

  2. Pour this mixture into a bowl, add the oil, egg, sugar, salt, and yeast, mix well, and gradually add the flour while stirring with a spoon until the mixture starts to clump, then turn out onto a work surface and knead by hand until well homogenized

  3. If necessary, add more flour and work the dough until it becomes soft and elastic

  4. Place the dough in a sunny spot to rise for 1 to 2 hours on hot days, and a bit longer on mild days

  5. Cover with plastic and a kitchen towel

  6. After the dough doubles in volume, turn it out again onto a lightly floured work surface, punch down to remove air, and shape the breads

  7. Place in a greased and floured pan (can be with cornmeal), brush with egg yolk, sprinkle a little cornmeal, and let rise again until doubled

  8. Bake in a medium oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown
