What each ingredient does

Ground white cornmeal: Provides the main body and corn flavour of the bread.
Eggs: Bind the batter and add structure as they set in the oven.
Whole milk: Adds moisture and softness to the crumb.
Baking powder: Releases gas in the batter, helping the bread rise.
Cooked rice: Adds moisture and a tender texture to the crumb.
Coconut oil: Adds fat for tenderness and a rich mouthfeel.
