Cornbread Challah

Directions

1. 1
   ["Start with fresh masa, the dough used for tortillas. This can be hard to find and you don't want to substitute dough made from masa harina, the flour. You can make your own masa from whole corn but, unless you have an expensive specialty grinder, it will come out too wet for this recipe. Try grocery stores specializing in Latin American foods and restaurants that make their own tortillas. Masa should have no ingredients other than corn, lime (cal), water, and perhaps a bit of salt.", "Divide your masa into two equal amounts. Then divide each pile into thirds and make them into balls. Work with one group of 3 at a time. With your hands, roll each ball out into a breadstick shape, 9-12\" long and 1-2\"" wide (different sizes all work well so don't worry too much about this; keep in mind that this dough will not rise).""
