You can make a mealie bread from scratch in less than an hour.
If you have a tin of sweetcorn in the cupboard, a few basic baking ingredients and about 45 minutes to spare, you are already well on your way to a loaf of mealie bread.
This easy mealie bread recipe combines whole sweetcorn kernels with cream-style sweetcorn, giving the loaf plenty of corn flavour while keeping the texture soft and moist.
A little maize meal adds a slightly grainier texture, while baking powder helps the loaf rise in the oven.
Unlike yeast breads, there is no kneading or proving involved. The batter is mixed, poured into a buttered loaf pan and baked.
