69. That's similar to the way I do it

I don't add the oil to the pans while preheating. Some vegetable oils have a smoke point that is below 425F. There's really no need to preheat the oil anyway as it will heat up almost instantly when placed in the pan.

I don't use self-rising flour or corn meal as they are less versatile than their non-self rising alternatives. Mixing 1 cup of a/p flour (or fine corn meal) + 1 1/4 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt = 1 cup self rising flour.

I mix the wet ingredients separately from the dry ingredients and once the two are added together I mix only enough to bring everything together. Over-mixing makes the bread more dense.

Light olive oil is a substitute for vegetable oil and will not create any differences in flavor.
