Gluten-Free Anadama Bread

Anadama bread, a yeast bread made with wheat flour, cornmeal and molasses, has been a New England mainstay for generations. This version substitutes gluten-free flour, but keeps the loaf’s slightly sweet flavor and hearty texture.—Doris Kinney, Merrimack, New Hampshire

  • Total Time
    Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 30 min. + cooling
  • Makes
    1 loaf (12 slices)

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1-1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Grease an 8x4-in. loaf pan and sprinkle with gluten-free flour; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. In bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the eggs, oil, molasses, vinegar and yeast mixture. Gradually beat in the flour, cornmeal, xanthan gum and salt. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. (Dough will be softer than yeast bread dough with gluten.)
  • Transfer to prepared pan. Smooth the top with a wet spatula. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough reaches the top of pan, about 40 minutes.
  • Bake at 375° for 20 minutes; cover loosely with foil. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Turn oven off. Leave bread in oven with door ajar for 15 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
