Loaf leavened with yeast. Requires a bread machine. Here's one of my favorite breads to make. The trick here is to use stone ground cornmeal, not the powdered/bleached variety. It gives the bread a great flavor, and a really nice coarse texture. The combination of ingredients give it a very different flavor than standard banana/nut or pan-baked corn bread.

Creamy peanut butter fudge made in just 15 minutes with brown sugar, marshmallows, and vanilla. No candy thermometer stress, just smooth, melt-in-your-mouth squares.
