Olive oil1 tbsp + 2 tsp
Cornmeal · ground1 tbsp + 2 tsp
Bread flour3 ⅓ cups
Yeast3 ½ tsp
Salt1 ½ tsp
Baking soda¼ tsp
Milk1 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp
Honey1 tbsp

Instructions

Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil and dust it with 1 tablespoon cornmeal. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt and baking soda.
Whisk the lukewarm milk and honey, then mix into the dry ingredients to form a very soft, sticky, batter-like dough.
Pour the dough into the prepared pan. Brush the top with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons cornmeal, and loosely cover with cling film.
Set in a warm place until the dough rises to the rim of the pan, about 45 minutes. Towards the end of this time, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake for about 25 minutes, until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
