• (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool bread completely. Cover with foil and store at room temperature).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk in almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet later on.
• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Beat sugar and butter in large bowl until blended. Add eggs and beat until well blended. Beat in 2 cups water and cornmeal. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into small bowl. Add to cornmeal mixture; stir just until blended. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
• Bake until bread is golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer dish to rack and cool corn bread slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool bread completely. Cover with foil and store at room temperature.)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, molasses, butter, orange zest, salt, aniseed and boiling water; stir until brown sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Stir in cold water; let stand until mixture cools to 110° to 115°., Meanwhile, in a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in molasses mixture; mix well. Add, all-purpose flour and 1 cup rye flour. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining rye flour to form a stiff dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into 2 oval loaves. Grease 2 baking sheets and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Place loaves on prepared pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 350° . With a sharp knife, make 4 shallow slashes across top of each loaf. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks; brush with butter.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, salt, butter, ¾ cup sugar, and the cardamom. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Milk should be warm to the touch but not too hot.
• In a liquid measuring cup, dissolve the yeast and remaining teaspoon of sugar in the warm water. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Once the milk mixture has cooled, pour into a large bowl and add the yeast mixture and the egg. Stir until well combined.
• Add the flour, 1 cup (125 grams) at a time, stirring or kneading with your hands between each addition, until no longer sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 15 minutes, or until it springs back when pressed. Transfer to a large bowl greased with butter, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and divide in half. Cut each half into 3 equal portions. Stretch and roll each piece into a 14-inch rope. Place 3 pieces parallel to each other and pinch together the ends on one side, tucking underneath to conceal. Braid the strands together, pinch the ends together at the other end and tuck underneath. Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Uncover the loaves and lightly brush with water. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, brushing the excess from the baking sheet.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let cool before slicing.
• Enjoy!
