A Variety of Corn Bread Recipes

 

Corn Bread Facts:

“Corn bread was not invented. It was a product of cultural exchange and practical necessity. Corn [aka maize] is a new world food. Native Americans were cooking with ground corn long before the European explorers set foot on New World soil. The food we know today as "corn bread" has a northern European (English, Dutch, etc.) culinary heritage. Why? Because the new settlers often had to "make do" with local ingredients [corn meal] when their traditional ingredients [finely ground wheat] were in short supply. When colonial American recipes carried the name "Indian" in their title (Indian bread, Indian pudding) it was because one of the ingredients was cornmeal.”

The most popular corn bread recipes involve baking or frying the bread. These include: skillet-baked, hoecakes, johnnycakes, and hushpuppies.

Anadama Corn Bread - For this version, I used the Healthy Bread in Five Minutes list of ingredients (sort of) and the soaker, sponge and dough methods from the Bread Baker’s Apprentice method.

Baked Corn Bread - Here is a moist and sweet recipe for baked corn bread. Sour cream is what gives it the moist texture.

Buttermilk Cornbread from the Old Mill - This is Aunt Martha’s Buttermilk Cornbread and it’s made with freshly milled corn meal.

No Knead Batter Corn Bread - This type of corn bread is brown and golden and similar in texture to a quick corn bread. However, the batter is beaten, not kneaded and it rises once in the pan before baking.

Spicy Corn Muffin Recipe - This corn muffin recipe is from Bonnie in the U.S.

Steamed Boston Brown Bread - This particular brown bread is made with rye, corn, and whole wheat. It tastes great warm, sliced into rounds. Serve it for your next cookout with baked beans.

-

Steamed Corn Bread - Steamed Corn Bread has the color and texture of Boston Brown Bread, but it's made with cornmeal and all-purpose flour rather than a blend of several flours. It's also made with molasses rather than maple syrup so of course, the flavor is different!

Togus Steamed Bread - Togus Bread is a sweet, rich bread that the colonists adapted from the steamed cornmeal bread of the Algonquian-speaking peoples, who dominated most of northeastern America.

Yeasted Cornbread - This yeasted corn bread is made using the Kneadlessly Simple method.

Tip: To retain more of the nutrients and flavor in your corn bread, use good-quality, stone-ground cornmeal.

What is corn bread?

Corn bread is the generic name for quick breads made with cornmeal. We take corn for granted these days, but bread made from cornmeal was a mainstay of colonial diets, in both the North and the South, for almost two centuries.

Southern cooks prefer to use white cornmeal, while Northern cooks tend to use yellow cornmeal and add sweetening to their breads. You can decide which type of cornmeal and method you prefer.
