The Baker's Secret

[charles]

So here it is; You will need only one tool besides for the oil and bread pan you already have, and that is quite simply cornmeal (you shouldn't need more than 1/4 to 1/2 cup for two loaves of bread).
No, you do not add the cornmeal to the bread ingredients! That is not the bread baking secret.What you do is you oil your pan as usual, and you lightly sprinkle cornmeal on all of the sides and bottom of the bread pan.

Now you can safely place your bread dough into the pans without fear of it sticking to them.While your bread is baking instead of sticking to the pan, your bread will stick to the cornmeal and slide easily out of the pan when done baking. You may need to use a butter knife and slide it in between the panand the bread before turning the pan over and allowing your bread to pop out,You will probably also want to use the butter knife to scrape the excess cornmeal off the bottom and sides of the bread as you may not care for the taste of cornmeal.

This bread baking secret will work whether you're baking a batter bread or a rising bread (also called yeast bread). I personally use it for both.
