<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear All, I experimented on Sunday with "glutinous rice powder", trying to make a simple Corn Bread Loaf. The result was very good, so I thought I'd put the recipe on the list for anyone else who might like to experiment with it. I have not yet had time to translate it into any other measures than the ones I normally work with. Corn Bread Ingredients: 50 g polenta 50 g corn flour 175 g fine corn meal 75 g unpolished sesame seeds 3 tbs glutinous rice powder (this is exceptionally fine and obtained from our local Chinese supermarket) 2 tbs oil (I use virgin olive oil but I expect other oil will do) 0.5 tsp salt 0.5 tsp honey 250 ml water 1 medium egg 1 tbs dried yeast Method Mix the glutinous rice flour and oil together, heat and add 100 mls water. Stir and cook until a revolting substance (like worn out chewing gum which has had an accident) is produced. Take off the heat and leave to cool. Make up 150 mls of water to 40C, add the honey and dried yeast and leave in a warm place to start working. Once the glutinous flour mix is cool enough to start working with, add the sesame seed and mix in. In a reasonably sized bowl (this takes a bit of working) measure up the other dry ingredients, and mix well. Mix in the glutinous rice mass and clean up the pan with part of the dry corn flour mix, until as much as possible of the mix is now in the bowl. Mix the rice flour mass and the dry ingredients together until you get a crumb-like structure. Add the egg and the yeast mix, once the latter is working well. Mix well until a smooth dropping consistency is achieved. Pour the mix into a greased and floured bread form (I used polenta to flour mine =96 this was a mistake as it left the outside of the loaf slightly gritty). Allow to rise until the bread form is nearly filled by the mix. Bake at 200C for 45 min. If you like corn bread you=92ll like this (personally I don=92t but Karin says it is =93excellent=94). Once cold it slices easily and has a real crust. Regards David David J Walland University of Bristol Radiation Protection Adviser [log in to unmask] Tel +44 (0)117 928 8323 Fax +44 (0)117 929 1209
