Black Bean Quinoa Bread



Aaron found this recipe on Chef Brad's website.  He tweaked it a bit, and came up with this: 
Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp yeast 
  • 2/3 Tbsp salt
  • 1 c. bean flour (we've used black and red)
  • 2 2/3 c. Bread flour
  • 2 cups water
  • 3/4 c cooked quinoa (we used black)
Directions:
  1. Mix dry ingredients together.  Then add the water and quinoa. Knead in stand mixer for 8 minutes.  Add flour as needed.
  2. Shape into loaf (round or oblong).  Spray baking sheet or using parchment paper. Let rise for until double in size, about an hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 450.  Place a pie tin of water on the bottom rack.  Put loaf in the oven on middle rack.  Spray loaf with water. Turn down oven to 400.  Bake for 40-50 minutes until done.
So hearty and delicious!  To get the bean flour he took dry beans and used a wheat grinder to make them into a flour.  There's a video on Chef Brad's link.
