Original recipe makes 2
For the Soaker:
1 cupcornmeal; preferably coarse grind (also known as polenta)
1 cupwater; at room temperature
For the Regular Sponge:
2 cupsunbleached bread flour
2 teaspoonsinstant yeast
1 cupLukewarm water
For the Final Dough:
2.5 cupsunbleached bread flour
1.5 tspsalt
6 tablespoonsmolasses; (lighter is better)
2 tablespoonsshortening or unsalted butter; at room temperature

Anadama Bread Preparation

First create a cornmeal soaker and leave it overnight, and then you mix that into a sponge, leaving it for another hour. Next you mix the dough and allow it to rise for about 90 minutes, followed by shaping and proofing for 90 more minutes. Finally, the cooking time is around 40-50 minutes in a 350 oven. So, in all (if we don't include the soak overnight), it takes about 5? hours from start to finish.

Notes

The recipe demands your attention because it requires several more steps than traditional versions that tend to be of the direct bake variety. The first two steps draw out the flavor from the corn as well as soften it to improve its digestibility.
