Broa

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl pour the hot water over the cornmeal. Wait at least 5 minutes and sprinkle yeast on top (if you put the yeast on too early, the heat will kill the yeast). Wait until yeast is bloomed, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Stir in milk, oil and honey.

3. 3

   Add in flour and salt. If using a mixer, attach the dough hook and mix for 5 minutes. Or mix by hand for 10 minutes. The dough will be sticky.

4. 4

   Let the dough rise until doubled in bulk and divide into 3 pieces.

5. 5

   On a floured table shape each piece of dough into a patty shape, then lightly tuck and roll into a 'football' shape. Place the 3 loaves on 2 full sheet pans which have been sprinkled with cornmeal. Sprinkle more cornmeal on top of each loaf.

6. 6

   Let rise again until doubled, make a long shallow cut along the top of each loaf.

7. 7

   Bake at 425F for 45 minutes, rotating pans as you go.
