Check two-thirds of the way through the baking period; if the loaves are browning excessively, tent them loosely with foil.

Yellow cornmeal has slightly more vitamin A than white cornmeal. We like yellow cornmeal for this bread because it adds a sunny color that goes so well with the flavor of the orange juice.
