Sweet Brazilian Corn Bread
Ingredients
- 1 can drained corn
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 grams dry yeast
- about 500 grams all-purpose flour
Preparation
Blend the milk and corn in a blender, then strain through a sieve
Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the oil, egg, sugar, salt, and yeast; mix well
Gradually add the flour, stirring with a spoon, until the dough starts to clump
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed
Place the dough in a sunny spot to rise for 1 to 2 hours on hot days (longer on mild days), covered with plastic and a kitchen towel
Once doubled in volume, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, punch down to remove air, and shape the dough
Place in a greased pan dusted with flour or cornmeal, brush with egg yolk, and sprinkle with a little cornmeal
Let rise again until doubled in volume
Bake in a medium oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown
