I'm not really a baker, even though I do make most of our bread at home. I make it very basic, and in a bread machine. This was different. The recipe called for eggs and baking soda and baking powder, and such. I heaped things in the bread maker. Then I thought about the ingredients, and realized the author must have forgotten the water. I was having a glass of wine at this time, since I was having an adventure in cooking, and we were going into the evening. Cabernet.
I added water. About a cup. (I'm OK, but not great, with a measuring cup. Or a glass of wine.) Oh, it got runny. Added some more flour. Then some more corn meal. Still runny, but I tried to cook it anyway. Twice, and again this morning.
It's not going to happen. I don't know what to add next. Now, if I try to lift this out of the bread machine, the whole mess will go out through the bottom and I will have to kill myself.
Guess I'll have to go to the house to deal with it before the ants arrive.
Update and photo. The thing settled into a semi solid mass, and I fed it to the turkeys. It smelled good.

So, Anitra, if it had baking powder it probably didn't need time to rise, which means it probably didn't need to be put through the bread machine. You gonna give it another try?
Oh, yes, I'm going to try again! Need to - zucchini can get dangerous, as we all know. Big. I just need to attack this from a different angle. I have two stoves with difficult to light ovens, you see.
Maybe bake in an electric wok? In my pressure cooker? I'll figure something out :)
