Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup milk warm
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast
  • cornmeal topping: 1/4 cup or so of cornmeal

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the above ingredients, in the order that they are listed, into your bread machine.
    3/4 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp butter, 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast
  • Choose the 'Dough Cycle'.
  • Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and cover with a damp, clean tea towel. Let rise for 15 minutes.
  • Prepare 2 loaf pans: I line my pans with parchment paper, but you can also grease with butter.
  • Now let's shape the dough into loaves. Separate the dough into 2, and lightly knead the dough one more time. Then roll each ball into a rectangular tube shape that will fit into each baking pan. You want the top of the loaves to be taut, so while keeping the dough in a tube shape, you need to tuck in the ends into the bottom of the loaf.
  • Now let's add a cornmeal topping, doing each loaf, one at a time. Wet your hands and lightly rub the outside of the loaf with a bit of water, then roll the loaf in the cornmeal.
    cornmeal topping: 1/4 cup
  • Add the dough to the prepared loaf pan and now do the other loaf.  Then cover with the tea towel, and let rise for 1 hour. See above for proofing tips!
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • When the loaves are done rising, bake for 30 - 35 minutes. When the bread is done, it will sound hollow when you tap the tops, and the tops will be golden brown.
  • Let the loaves rest in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove.
  • Let cool completely before cutting.
