The cornmeal is meant to keep the bread from sticking and to make the bottom crust crunchier. You can use plain flour or parchment paper to prevent sticking, but it just won't be quite as crunchy.
Rye 'n' Injun bread is a course brown bread made with rye and cornmeal. An early precurser to Boston Brown Bread where rye and cornmeal were mixed to make a substitute for wheat flour. Locally available sweetners were often added to sweeten and help bind the bread. It was then steamed instead of baked in the tradition of an English pudding.
Just to clarify (because previous answer was incorrect): You do not use CORNMEAL to thicken with. You use CORNFLOUR.If you do not have cornmeal then you can substitute POLENTA, which is nothing more than a coarser-ground cornmeal, more or less. You can stick it in a blender or food processor to make it more finely-ground if you wish but it isn't necessary. It really depends on what you're using it for.
Bread crumbs, cracker crumbs or crushed corn flakes.
Breadcrumbs, cornmeal, crushed crackers or cereals--all of those would work.
Yes, polenta is made from crushed dry corn just like cornmeal. In fact you can use cornmeal to cook homemade polenta if you don't have official polenta. I use it all the time. The only difference I've ever noticed is that cornmeal is often ground finer than polenta. If you get course ground cornmeal it's the same thing.
