Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC) or Gas Mark 5.
-
Generously grease a 2-pound loaf tin with oil or butter.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strong plain flour, medium yellow cornmeal, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk to aerate.
-
In a separate jug or bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, yogurt, and eggs until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
-
Stir vigorously until just combined and no dry flour remains; do not overmix.
-
If desired, fold in the grated cheddar cheese now.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 55 minutes.
-
Insert a skewer into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is done. If wet, bake for 5-10 more minutes, covering the top with foil if it browns too quickly.
-
Remove from the oven and let stand in the tin for 5 minutes.
-
Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
