Chimodho

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

Add the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix well.

Combine Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

If using raisins or dried fruit, fold them into the batter.

Bake the Bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and serve the chimodho as a snack or with tea.
