QUICK BREADS, YEAST
BREAD AND PIZZA

This is a particularly moist and flavorful cornbread
which is best served warm.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup yellow cornmeal

seconds. Scrape work bowl and gently stir in corn
kernels.

Coffee Cake

Also serve as a sweet addition to lunch or supper.
Dough
1 package (2
1
⁄4 teaspoons) active dry
yeast
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1
⁄4 cup warm water (105°F–110°F)
1
⁄3 cup sour cream
1
⁄4 cup cold milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups unbleached, all-purpose fl our
4 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into
1-inch pieces
1
⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
and divided
Filling
1
⁄2 cup packed light brown sugar
1
⁄2 cup dates, cut into 1-inch pieces
1
⁄2 cup pecan halves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a 2-cup liquid measure dissolve yeast and 1
tablespoon sugar in warm water. Let stand until
foamy. Stir together the sour cream, milk, egg and
vanilla extract and add to the yeast mixture.
Using the metal blade, process flour, cold butter,
salt and remaining sugar for 10 seconds. With
machine running, add yeast mixture through feed
tube in a steady stream as fast as flour absorbs it.
After dough cleans inside of work bowl, continue
processing 40 seconds more to knead it.
Shape dough into a ball and place it in a lightly
floured plastic food storage bag. Squeeze out air
and close top with wire twist. Let rise in a warm
place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Roll dough on lightly floured surface into 20 x 12-
inch rectangle. Brush with 1 tablespoon of melted
butter. With remaining butter, brush inside of a
9 x 13-inch pan.
Use metal blade to combine brown sugar, dates,
pecans and cinnamon until coarsely chopped,
about 45 seconds. Spread filling over dough. Roll
dough up, jelly-roll fashion, from long side.
