  • Once done, take the spinach out of the water and strain it to remove excess water.
  • Chop the spinach into small pieces and let it cool. Meanwhile, grease the baking dish with 1 tablespoon of melted butter, with the help of a pastry brush.
  • Dust the baking dish with flour, just enough to cover all the sides.
  • Sieve flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking soda in a large bowl, keep aside.

  • Lastly, fold in the chopped spinach and transfer the batter into the greased and dusted baking dish.
  • Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, however, at the 40 minute mark, poke the center with a knife and check if it comes out clean. If it does, your bread is ready and if not, let it bake for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Once done, take the bread out of the oven and let it cool down for 5-10 minutes, after which, you can serve.
