Labor day weekend is here! I always have such mixed emotions about this weekend – the end of summer is sad, but I LOVE fall. It is my absolute favorite season. I can’t wait for cooler temperatures, gorgeous fall leaves, and pumpkin everything! TheBetterHalf can’t wait for Notre Dame football to start (tomorrow!). But I will enjoy this one last summer weekend 🙂 I always love to bake bread when I have a little extra time on the weekends. If you are the same, I have a great recipe for you to try this long weekend! The name is kind of confusing – this is NOT corn bread. It is a fluffy yeast bread with cornmeal in the dough. It is very similar to white sandwich bread, but the cornmeal gives it a nice texture and flavor. There is just a hint of sweetness from some dark brown sugar, which I always love in my bread. We have been eating this bread all week for sandwiches and toast and have been loving it! The recipe comes from a great little bread cookbook that my aunt gave me, Beard on Bread. I have made so many delicious breads from this book. Hope you have a great long weekend, and Go Irish! …
