Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 1 ½ cups cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe avocado (for guacamole)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup diced onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Prepare the Guacamole: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado. Add lime juice, diced tomatoes, diced onion, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, salt, and gelatin.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Bread: After the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf or individual rolls. Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Second Rise: Cover again and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake: Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve with the guacamole on the side for dipping or spreading.
