Polenta Sunflower Seed Bread

Ever since I lost my favorite cornbread recipe, I’ve been trying various cornbread recipes in the hopes of find the “one.” I’ve never tried making a bread with polenta in it instead of cornmeal, but I was curious to try it so I could see how it differs (or not) from cornbread.

I liked the bread just fine. It tasted good and it wasn’t too dry and crumbly the way cornbread can sometimes be. It was moist and the sunflowers gave it an interesting taste and texture. Yet while I like the bread, which was even better with butter on it, it doesn’t come close to that incredible cornbread I used to make. Still, I’m glad I tried it, and I’m looking forward to enjoying more of it with my leftover chicken soup tomorrow night. You can see the bread sliced here.
