Ingredients

• ✓ cornmeal
• yeast
• water
• salt
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Place yeast into the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Add water and stir, then mix in salt. Add flour and beat with a wooden spoon until dough is thick and sticky and pulls flour from the side of the bowl, 5 to 10 minutes.
2. 2 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a turned-off oven until doubled in volume, 12 to 14 hours. Dough will be bubbly and very sticky.
3. 3 Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat and dust generously with cornmeal.
4. 4 Use a floured spatula to scrape dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Dust dough with flour. With well-floured hands, pat dough into a rectangle. Cut the rectangle into four equal pieces.
5. 5 Dust one piece of dough with flour and stretch it with floured fingers into a log about 10 inches long and 1 1/2 inches around. Gently transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Wipe off excess cornmeal with a damp paper towel if desired. Repeat with another piece of dough. (Reserve remaining dough to bake later or prepare another baking sheet to bake all four loaves at once).
6. 6 Dust loaves lightly with flour. Dust a large piece of plastic wrap with flour and drape it lightly over the baking sheet with the floured side down. Let loaves rise, covered, until doubled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
7. 7 Set the oven racks to the bottom and middle positions and preheat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) or as high as your oven will go. Place an oven-proof baking dish full of water onto the bottom rack of the oven.
8. 8 Cut four or five angled slashes into the top of each loaf with sharp kitchen shears. Poke down any sharp tips of dough left by the scissors. Spray the loaves with water, using a spray bottle.
9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until baguettes are browned, about 15 minutes, spraying loaves with water after 5 minutes and 10 minutes. Turn the pan around on the second spraying.
10. 10 Transfer baguettes to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature before slicing with a serrated knife.

Instructions

1. 1 Place the sourdough starter, water, olive oil, salt, sugar, yeast, and flour in that order into the pan of a bread machine, set the machine on the dough cycle, and start the machine.
2. 2 After the machine has finished its cycle, turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead several times; mix in more flour if the dough is very sticky. Cut the dough in half, and roll each piece of dough out into a rectangle about 8 by 12 inches and 1/2-inch thick. Roll the rectangles into loaves the long way, pinch the seams, and taper and pinch the ends of the loaves.
3. 3 Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and sprinkle paper with cornmeal. Place the loaves gently onto the prepared baking sheets, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. 4 Place a large baking stone onto the center rack of oven, and place a baking dish onto a lower rack. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully pour boiling water into the baking dish.
5. 5 Remove plastic wrap from loaves, and slash several 1/2-inch deep cuts into each loaf with a sharp knife. Whisk egg yolk and milk together in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed, and brush the loaves with the egg yolk mixture.
6. 6 Place the loaves into the preheated oven on top of the baking stone, and quickly spray the inside of the oven 4 or 5 times with a water-filled spray bottle. Shut oven door; wait 1 minute, and spray again; repeat twice more, spraying the oven 4 times with water at 1-minute intervals.
7. 7 Bake about 15 minutes, and remove the water-filled baking dish. Continue to bake until the bread is browned and the loaves make a hollow sound when thumped, about 15 more minutes. Remove bread to cool on racks.

Ingredients

• ✓ cornmeal
• wheat berry
• water

Instructions

1. 1 Several days before you hope to eat this bread: rinse wheat berries in cool water. Drain and submerge wheat berries with cool water in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate or cloth, and allow wheat berries to soak at normal room temperature overnight or for about 12 hours so they soak up a considerable amount of water.
2. 2 Drain wheat berries in a colander; cover the colander with a plate to prevent wheat berries from drying out and set it in a place away from any sunlight or light. Rinse berries about 3 times a day, and they will soon begin to sprout. In a couple of days the sprouts will reach their optimum length of about l/4 inch. Growth depends on moisture and temperature so be patient.
3. 3 Grind sprouted wheat berries in a food mill or in a food processor.
4. 4 After grinding, dump the mushed up grain onto a clean work surface. Squeeze and knead the grain for about 10 minutes, then form into 2 small round, hearth-style loaves with your hands. Sprinkle an insulated cookie sheet with a little bran or cornmeal, and put the loaves on it.
5. 5 Preheating the oven is not necessary. Cover the loaves with cloches, and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Then turn the oven down to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and bake for approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes more. Allow the breads to cool thoroughly on cooling racks for several hours, and then, because of the high moisture content, store in the refrigerator. For best results, slice this bread thinly, or break with hands.

Ingredients

• ✓ cornmeal
• zucchini
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off ends, then slice zucchini into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl; toss in zucchini slices, mixing thoroughly to coat.
2. 2 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place zucchini slices into hot oil and fry over medium heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Watch zucchini closely, adding more oil if they are browning too quickly. When zucchini slices are golden brown on one side, flip to brown on other side. They will clump together as they cook but that is what you want.
3. 3 When zucchini slices are evenly browned, reduce heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid; steam until zucchini is slightly tender. Turn zucchini, replace lid, and steam until soft. Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high; fry slices on both sides until crisp. Serve hot.
