THAI RICE BREAD

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425. Line the bottom of an 11-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly oil the sides of the pan. In a medium bowl whisk together the cornmeal, salt and baking powder. In a larger bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, green onions and peppers until well-combined. Stir in the cornmeal mixture until smooth. Stir in the mashed rice and butter until smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out. Place in oven and bake 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool on a rack until ready to serve.

RICE BREAD

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups water and rice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
• Spoon rice into a large bowl; cool to room temperature.
• Stir in 1 1/4 cups warm water.
• Add 2 cups flour and yeast to rice mixture; stir well to combine.
• Cover with plastic wrap; let stand 1 hour (batter should become very bubbly and almost double in size).
• Add 2 cups flour and salt to batter; stir 1 minute with a wooden spoon or until well combined.
• Scrape dough onto a heavily floured surface; sprinkle dough with 1 cup flour.
• Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
• Divide dough in half.
• Working with 1 portion at a time (cover the remaining dough to keep from drying), roll each portion into a 14 x 7-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
• Roll up each rectangle tightly, starting with a short edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch seam and ends to seal.
• Place each roll, seam side down, in an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
• Lightly coat the loaves with cooking spray; cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped.
• Cool in pans on wire racks.
