I wanted to make corn bread
I thought I had corn meal
but what I actually have is lots of corn flour
(not corn starch)
what can I make with that?

BTW,, I have about 6 different challah recipes printed in my paper recipes notebook. They are all very similar.
There are also a few different ways to braid. I usually use the 3 strand easy method,,, But there are 5 strand methods,,, and also using square strands instead of round. Makes for interesting end baked shapes.

The recipe for which I posted the code includes instructions for a lovely 6-strand braid, a round braid and others. There are also amazing pics of braids readers sent in. One is an elaborate braid of a menorah!

Sure can just add a cup of that to a cup of flour.

I had a long baking day today. I baked cookies, and some other things. I’m very tired.

I’m so tired, I was on the phone with my sister. I was telling her I was getting ready to hit the sack. It accidentally came out as “I’m getting ready to kick the bucket.”

I must be tired.

That's funny, Jared. Please don't kick the bucket any time soon! We are not done with you yet.

@Jenbirdee, here's what I found:

What can I use corn flour for?

Corn flour is a versatile ingredient that can enhance the texture and flavor of many foods. Use corn flour as a breading for fried fish or okra, incorporate it into a waffle or pancake batter for a satisfying breakfast, or bake it into breads, muffins, or cakes.Jan 25, 2022

The bread looks good!

Have you tried putting the dough into the fridge over night and baking it in the morning? That process usually works well.

I usually make the dough im the morning, let rise 2 times during the day and put it in the fridge to proof in the afternoon until morning, sometimes the sourdough is so active I have to bake it in the evening

I fear 5 strand is beyond my talents
