Anadama bread

Anadama bread

There's a story behind every bread, or so they say :) The most popular story behind this one is...

Rockpot, Massachusetts. Man, upset with his wife for leaving him, and only a pot of cornmeal mush in the kitchen, tossed it together with some yeast and flour and muttered

"Anna, damn'er!"

Later amended by the more genteel Yankees, as they retold the story, to anadama. Sounds likely?

One of not so many yeast breads I like. Sourdough being my first choice, always, and not only because they last longer ;)

wheat flour, water, cormeal (or semolina), yeast, molasses (or honey), salted butter (or lard)
