Red Bean Bread
________________________________
nt
Since red beans are sweet, the idea came to substitute red beans for raisins.
That is how this recipe originated. Enjoy!
1 / 2 cup dry red beans
3 - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 / 4 cup sugar
1 envelope Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 / 2 cup milk
1 / 4 cup butter or margarine
egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
Directions
To prepare red beans: Soak dry beans in 3 cups cold water for about 2
hours; drain and discard water. Cover beans with fresh water and
simmer, uncovered, for about 2 hours. Turn off heat but leave pot
covered; allow beans to cool and soften. Drain well, reserving 1/2 cup
liquid.
In large bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and
salt.
Heat
milk with butter and reserved bean water until very warm (120º to 130º
F). Butter does not need to melt. Stir gradually into dry
ingredients. Measure 3/4 cup of the cooked beans; mash lightly with a
potato masher or pastry blender. Add to flour mixture; stir in enough
remaining flour to make soft dough.
Knead on lightly flour surface until smooth and elastic, 4 to 6 minutes. Cover
and let rest about 10 minutes.
Punch
down dough. Shape into a rectangle about 10 by 14 inches. Place on
oiled baking pan, cover and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400º F. Lightly brush egg wash over the loaf. Bake about 50
minutes or until done. Cool on wire rack.
