I grew up in the southern United States where cornbread is a staple food. Cornbread has a long history of being a simple and inexpensive food for sustaining life and limb, even during hard times. In this recipe I created an extra tasty version that is also extra healthy.
Ingredients:
2 cups corn masa flour (unlike regular corn flour, masa flour has been treated with an alkali solution to increase the bioavailability of niacin in the corn and allow the flour form a dough.)
1 quart Kefir (To make your own Kefir click here. In brief, pour milk into a quart canning jar containing a kefir grain. Let sit a day or two at room temperature. The kefir is ready when its texture is thick and creamy.)
1/2 cup water (if necessary)
6 oz. parmesan cheese (optional)
2 onions diced (optional)
Almond Oil (or any other oil that is safe for you)
Sea salt
Instructions:
1. Mix 1 quart kefir and 2 cups corn masa flour in a mixing bowl and let the mixture sit overnight.
2. If the batter is too stiff after sitting all night, add 1/2 cup of water (the more water you add, the less stiff the batter). Mix until the batter has absorbed all the water.
3. Optional: Mix 6 oz. of parmesan cheese into the batter. If you are intolerant to cheese, skip this step.
4. Optional, but it will add sweetness and texture. Dice 2 onions. Add almond oil (or any other oil that is safe for you) to a frying pan. Add onions. Sauté onions until lightly brown. Add them to the batter and mix well. If you have a negative food sensitivity reaction to onions, skip this step.
5. Add sea salt to mixture according to taste.
6. Coat the surface of a baking pan with an oil of your choice. I used corn oil because I was already using corn masa flour and therefore it wasn’t introducing another food. Pour the batter into a baking pan with a lid. I used an enamel baking pan with a lid: Granite Ware 6106-6 13-Inch Covered Oval Roaster because the enamel transfers heat well and the lid allows for slow cooking times without drying out..
7. Bake in a conventional oven slowly (so the bacteria have time to transition into a form that is resistant to heat and stomach acid) for 2 hours at 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Solar oven: 2-3 hours at 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
8. After 2 hours remove from oven. If the cornbread is not firm enough, then put back into the oven and check every 20-30 minutes until you get the consistency you want. If you added cheese, the cornbread will firm up as it cools.
9. Enjoy your freshly baked cornbread!

I like the history lesson to go along! Trying this recipe💕🌽
not protein but vitamin deficiency
Finally someone making masa bread!!!
Can I substitute plain yogurt for the kefir?
I'm thinking about cooking it in the crockpot for slow cooking. Any thoughts?
Do you think this could be used as a pancake recipe? Would it cook to fast for the bacteria?
Nicotinamide is not a protein. It is a B vitamin. B3 to be exact. Pellagra is a deficiency of that particular B vitamin and has nothing at all to do with a lack of complete protein. Good recipe, though.
+nature To make this recipe dairy-free you would need to leave out the
cheese and substitute either nut milk and water kefir or just water
kefir for the regular milk kefir and water that I used. If you make a
dairy-free version that you like, please let me know what you did and
how it turned out.
Please tell how to make non-dairy and about making and using water kefir. Would you just use nut milk with the water kefir? Thank you for sharing so much good information how to heal RA.
@jackrufio Thanks for your suggestion. I have added the ingredients to the description.
would be nice if you can always add the ingredients in the description.
@Ioana Perte Good question. LIke most corn products the US, if it is not labeled organic or non-GMO, then yes the corn masa flour is likely to be GMO. However, this has nothing to do with the process of creating corn masa flour from corn. Luckily, organic not-GMO corn masa is comerically available. Gold Mine Natural Food Company is one source.
Hello, interesting videos. Isn't corn masa GMO though?
Can cornbread be gourmet and gluten free at the same time? I believe it can! In my most recent recipe, I revitalize cornbread with some delicious ingredients, while infusing it with some healthy probiotics. I encourage you to try this recipe for yourself, it will change the way you think about this sweet dish. It is perfect for a friendly family dinner. Let me know what you think in the comments!
