CORNMEAL AND HOMINY BREAD
While writing a book on the breads of the American Southwest, I discovered the
unique addition of canned hominy to breads, and was hooked. Hominy adds moisture
and texture to an otherwise crunchy loaf, and a delicate cornlike flavor that is most
complementary to the cornmeal. Be sure to refrigerate this loaf for storage; it has a lot
of moisture and will begin to mold when day-old if stored at room temperature.
