Yes we do the cornmeal, but rather than a pan we use a pizza stone heated to 500 deg. Fah. If you can find one, I’m certain you’ll appreciate the outcome.
If you’d like, I have an all purpose bread machine recipe everybody I’ve sent it to loves. Makes 1-1/2 lb. loaf of bread, or up to 12 sandwich rolls. I make them a little large so I get ten per batch. Great for burgers, Tuna, Hot dogs, Ham ‘n Cheese, Pulled Pork...everything actually.
Would love the recipe for buns. I am a breadaholic. Make a loaf of buttermilk wheat every 4-5 days, cinnamon-raisin often and yeast rolls once a week or so. Need to make a sourdough starter, but it's hunting season and my time is short until the end of the month. ;-)
