What is the new cornbread recipe?
The new cornbread is a bread made with cornmeal. Its texture is somewhat like traditional cornbread, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
It has a stronger sweet corn aroma than regular bread and is also fluffier, making it more layered in texture.
The baked bread has a slightly crispy surface but remains very soft inside. Paired with a hot drink or eaten on its own, you could easily finish a whole piece!
Why is this recipe popular?
Easy to make: The steps are simple, and the ingredients are common. Baking it is not complicated. Even with little baking experience, you can make it successfully.
Rich texture: Cornmeal gives the bread a unique aroma, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Maple syrup and sour cream make the flavor richer.
Health-oriented: Cornmeal is more nutritious than regular bread and high in fiber, making it less of a burden to eat.

Important Tips
Don’t overmix the batter: When mixing, just blend the ingredients together, don’t overmix. Overmixing can cause the bread to become too dense.
Preheating the oven is important: Make sure the oven is fully preheated to 180°C before placing the bread inside. This ensures the bread bakes more evenly, with a crispy exterior and soft interior.
Don’t make the batter too thick: If the batter looks too dry, you can add a bit of sour cream or milk to keep it moist. This will help make the bread fluffy when baked.
Choose good ingredients: Using fresh butter and sour cream will enhance the flavor of the cornbread. Try not to use expired or low-quality ingredients.
Keep an eye on the time: The baking time should be around 30 minutes, which is a good average. However, each oven is different, so bake until the surface is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Flavor Variations and Add-ins
Blueberries or nuts: Adding fresh blueberries, strawberries, or dried fruits (like raisins or goji berries) can add a bit of tartness and bring a fresh fruity fragrance.
Vanilla extract: If you like a sweet aroma, you can add a bit of vanilla extract, 1-2 teaspoons is enough, to enhance the overall fragrance.
Cheese: Adding cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese to the batter will bring a creamy flavor. If you love cheese, you can sprinkle some on top after baking, and the cheese layer will turn golden and delicious.
Herbs and spices: Herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, and black pepper can be added to bring a fresh savory flavor.
Honey instead of maple syrup: If you don’t like the taste of maple syrup, you can substitute honey, which will add a mild sweet fragrance.
Cheese and ham: Shredded cheese (like fresh cheese or cheddar cheese) and diced ham or bacon can be added to bring a savory flavor.
Storage and Reheating Guide
Room temperature: Place it in a sealed container, it will be fine for 2-3 days. If you want to store it longer, wrap it up and place it in the fridge, it can last up to a week. For even longer storage, slice it, wrap it, and freeze it, it can stay in the freezer for up to a month.
Reheating is easy: If stored at room temperature, just place it in the oven to heat, 160°C for 5-10 minutes. If using a microwave, wrap it in a damp paper towel and heat for 30 seconds to keep it soft and tender.
From the fridge or freezer: Heat in the oven at 160°C for 10-15 minutes, the freezing time will require a longer heating time.
Serving Suggestions
For breakfast or afternoon tea: This bread is perfect as a breakfast or afternoon snack, simple and delicious.
Pair with hot drinks: In the morning, you can pair it with a cup of hot milk or coffee. The bread's aroma combined with the hot drink is especially warming.
With some fruit: You can also pair it with fresh fruit, like strawberries or blueberries, to add a touch of freshness.
