Mealie Bread

Come summer time, good weather and relaxing weekends, we like to braai (BBQ) a lot.  Boerewors, lamb chops, steak, chicken, ribs, salads, potato bake and of course mealie bread. What would a braai be without mealie bread?  Hum...not sure!

As soon as it comes out the pan it is literally finished before your very eyes. Some like it with butter, some like it plain, but whichever way you like it, it is fabulous.  And there's no kneading involved. If you are lucky enough to have some left the next day, it makes really good toast.  Here's the recipe for you.


Ingredients
 
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
1 tin sweetcorn (410g)
salt & pepper
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
 
1.  Heat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and pepper.
4. Add 3/4 of a cup grated cheddar cheese and mix.
 
 
5. Add the egg and sweetcorn and mix in well.
 
 
6. Place in the greased loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
7. Bake for about 1 hour until cooked through.
 
 
 
Note: If you can't get sweetcorn, use plain corn and mix with a bit of milk until you get a dough like consistency.
 
Variations
Add garlic, chilli or herbs.
