Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour, cornmeal, molasses, yeast, and salt in a bowl until a shaggy dough forms.

  2. Step 2

    Warm water to 110°F. Add to the bowl and stir until a sticky batter forms, ~90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter a 10-inch cast iron skillet and pour the batter into it.

  4. Step 4

    Bake until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 12–14 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Cool in the skillet for 3 minutes, then turn out onto a board and slice warm.
