Servings: persons

1 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
3/4 cup cornmeal
2 cups whole wheat flour
1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1
In a skillet, saute onion in oil until tender; cool. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, parsley, sugar, salt, dill, sage and onion mixture; mix well. Add cornmeal; mix well. Stir in whole wheat flour and enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into two loaves. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
4
Bake at 350u00b0 for 30 minutes. Cover with foil. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
