Sondray:
You have "5 cups Flour Cornmeal" in this recipe. Is flour cornmeal something I'm not familiar with or do you combine both flour and cornmeal to make 5 cups? Sorry! I love bread bowls and want to make these for a batch of stew I'm planning on fixing. Thank you.

Thanks, Sondray. I'll have to check at the store for the flour cornmeal. If they sell it we have a store that carries it, I just have never noticed it so haven't heard of it. Thank you.

Loretta, please don't call my friend "Loretta" stupid...you aren't. I've traveled and lived from one coast to the other and from North to South and I know there are products unique to different areas that are unheard of in other areas. The one BIG example was when my XH was in the Navy and wanted me to mail him some beef jerky. We lived on the East Coast and after trying a dozen stores and asking them if they could order the beef jerky for me I called my parents on the WEST coast and asked them to buy a big jar of it and ship it to my husband because we couldn't get it where we lived on the E.Coast. I'm thinking maybe cornmeal flour is one of those items. I'm going to the store today so I'm going to find out if we have it or if we can get it.
