- Knead the dough until smooth, incorporating the corn and herbs until well combined.
- Place the dough in a greased rectangular loaf tin, cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
- Brush with butter and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- For the butter, heat oil in a pan.
- Fry the garlic for 1-2 minutes, until it is fragrant and slightly golden.
