Here’s a recipe from _The Complete Bread Cookbook_ by Ted and Jean Kaufman:
Boil the 2 cups water and gradually add the corn meal in a slow stream,
stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth. Add 2 T. butter, the
molasses and salt; let stand until lukewarm. Add the yeast to the 1/2 cup
lukewarm water, sprinkle with sugar, cover and let stand until foaming and
doubled in volume. Add to corn meal mixture. Stir in the flour, gradually,
just enough to make a stiff dough. Knead well for 10 minutes. Place in a
warm greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in bulk. Cut through
dough several times with a knife. Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes
until doubled in bulk. Toss lightly on a floured board. Knead and mold into
two loaves. Place in greased and lightly floured bread pans. Cover and let
rise again until doubled in bulk. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes;
reduce heat to 375 degrees and continue to bake until the loaves are golden
brown. Brush bread with warm melted butter and turn on sides on a cooling
rack to cool.
