Maize bread

During the last month and some of writing my thesis I spent almost all my waking hours doing just that. No baking whatsoever. One of the last things I had time to bake before going into crunch mode was a maize bread, or corn bread as it is known in many places.

As evident in the photo, the yellow colour of the maize imparts on the dough rather starkly as opposed to the normal white wheat flour. Once baked the pale yellow colour turns to a more golden glow.

The crumb, however, is fairly tough, and a tad more dry than its wheat only counterparts. The maize flavour adds a nice taste, though.
