Unlike many other cornbread recipes, this one uses yeast as the leavening agent other than baking soda and baking powder, so the texture is different from the cakey quick bread. This cornbread has a crispy cheesy crust and a flavourful, moist interior, which is generously studded with sweet corn kernels, capsicum, chilli threads, and paprika salami.
Inspired by WDR

  • 200 g Cornmeal
  • 300 g Water, hot
  • 60 g Olive oil
  • 1 can / 300 g Sweet corn
  • 300 g Red capsicum, peeled and diced
  • 10 g Chilli threads
  • 10 g Freshly mulled black pepper
  • 250 ml Water, lukewarm
  • 20 g Fresh yeast
  • 500 g All purpose flour
  • 120 g Paprika salami, thinly sliced
  • 15 g Salt
  • 200 g Cheddar slices
  • Cornmeal
  1. Measure the cornmeal into a large bowl. Pour in hot water and leave it to soak for about 20 minutes. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet until hot. Add in sweet corn and red capsicum. Stir briefly, and add in chilli threads. Cook until softened. Season with black pepper. Remove and leave it to cool until ready to use.
  3. Place water, fresh yeast, cornmeal mixture and flour in the bowl of a table mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir at slow speed for 3 minutes, then increase the speed and mix for another 3 minutes.
  4. Cover the dough in the bowl and leave it to rest for 10 minutes. Now add in the corn capsicum mixture and paprika salami. Use your hand to mix them evenly into the dough. Cover again and rest for 20 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 220C/430F. Divide the dough into 3 large portions for loaves or 12 small portions for smaller buns. Shape each small portion of dough into a round. Place Cheddar in a heatproof bowl. Put over a saucepan of simmering water and heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese melts.
  6. Spread melted cheese all over the surface of bread and sprinkle cornmeal over the dough and lightly press in with your hands. Bake buns for 15 minutes at 220C/430F, then reduce the oven temperature to200C/400F and bake another 20-25 minutes.

I've never had cornbread using yeast - sounds grand - like the idea of some crispy. Chili threads? Sounds wonderful but again - not sure what they are... except that there's probably some lovely heat involved?

Living in the southern United States, I've baked and eaten lots of cornbread---but I have yet to try the yeasted version--which looks wonderful. I'd love to try your recipe.

I've baked many a cornbread, but never one that uses yeast as a leavening agent, but never say never! I like a change now and then, the crispy crust and flavors sound delicious.

Beautiful corn bread. The cheese on top looks wonderful. This is the first time I've seen yeast used in cornbread. Looks great. I'm sure the texture must be better than regular corn bread.

I have always loved corn bread - especially in the fall with soups and stews and roasted chicken. What an deliciously unique recipe with the yeast. The bits of red pepper and corn peeking out look beautiful!

cookingvarieties 3/11/11 16:21

hi angie, your corn bread does look moist and appetizing- i like to see the striking yellow corn, sparsely spread- an effect to lure my taste buds to eat them and make the eater yearn for more. such a welcoming ingredient mix too

I've never tried to make yeasted corn bread before...you are really inspiring me, Angie! Love the chili threads in it...wonder if I can use chili flakes, since I know I can't find it here, locally!
Lovely color, and amazing flavor. Also appreciate the step-by-step directions!

Catherine@missionrestaurantsupply 11/10/12 00:55

I've never made cornbread with yeast. I always use baking powder. However I have had cornbread that's been made with yeast, usually from pastry shops.

This one looks soft and I am sure that the crispy, baked cheese on the outside is a treat. Some of those ingredients will make it really hot.

I don't have a table mixer or a dough hook so I would just have to work with my hands. I guess sprinkling cornmeal on the outside is supposed to make it extra crunchy. Thank you.
