How to make crackling cornbread:

Cover bowl with a towel and set aside to let dough rise until tripled in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and cut into halves. Cut each half into 3 pieces. Roll the pieces out into long "snakes" about 18-inches long. Braid three of the snakes together into a loaf and tuck the ends under. Repeat with remaining snakes.
