Substituting instant polenta in cornbread

I'm baking a cornbread and the recipe calls for 180g instant polenta, but I only have regular polenta. Will this be okay? Should I pre-cook it or use more liquid ingredients in the recipe? Keep it in the oven for longer? Thanks!

You'll be fine. I actually prefer cornbread made with polenta because of its wonderful texture.

boulangere, that is quite helpful. I'll keep this in mind, as I haven't the faintest idea where to source "instant polenta" - except perhaps Amazon, which I'm not inclined to do. Thank you.

I've never used it either, Mrs. B. I just use ordinary polenta from a bulk bin.
