Ingredients

• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and sprinkle the bottom and sides with 2 tablespoons of cornmeal. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, salt, and baking soda.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, water, and vegetable oil over low heat until warm (about 120–130°F). Do not overheat.

Step 4

Gradually pour the warm liquid into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or a spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on low speed.

Step 5

Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. It will be sticky, so use a lightly oiled spatula or damp fingertips to smooth the top if necessary.

Step 6

Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size and reaches near the top of the pan.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the dough is rising.

Step 8

Once risen, bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Toast slices as desired and serve with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
