Kidney Bean Spelt Bread

Labels: { Bread, Legumes, Spelt, Tangzhong Starter }

A spelt bread using a water roux-tangzhong starter, that is to combine together one portion of bread flour and five portions of water by weight in a pot. Heat up the mixture to bring out the gelatinization of starch in flour. What makes the bread baked with this kind of starter difference is Starch Gelatinization, which helps to engage more water, namely more water will be absorbed, to provide a characteristic softer, more elastic-textured bread. Moreover, the bread will have long-lasting freshness.

300 g Spelt bread flour
180 g Spelt wholegrain flour
70 g Light brown sugar
8 g Sea salt
10 g Active dry yeast
160 g Water Roux - Tangzhong Starter
1 Large egg
140 ml Lukewarm milk
40 ml Olive oil
150-200 g Cooked kidney beans, drained
Egg wash
1-2 tbsp Oat bran

In the bowl of your stand mixer, whisk together the spelt bread flour, spelt wholegrain flour, brown sugar, sea salt and dry yeast. Add in the starter, egg, milk, and olive oil.
Mix with dough hook at slow speed for 3 minutes, then increase the speed to medium and stir until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Turn out the dough on a lightly floured work surface and shape the dough into a ball. Grease the mixing bowl with a little olive oil. Return the dough into the bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and proof for 45 minutes until doubled in size.
Turn out the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the drained kidney beans over and roll it up. Place it, seam side down, into a large loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise again until double in bulk, approx. 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle the top with oat bran. Cut a deep slash down the length of the dough. Bake in the middle rack of hot oven for 35 minutes until nicely golden brown.

Ana Regalado 29/6/13 03:16: Oh Angie , such a GORGEOUS loaf ! The kidney beans sure adds a delicious texture :)
mjskit 29/6/13 04:54: I've never seen a starter made like this. Very interesting. When I saw the name of this bread I was sure the bean would be made into a paste. Love the way you folded it into the dough, keeping the beans intact. Beautiful loaf of bread! The last two quotes are sadly very true. :)

Kathy 30/6/13 13:26: Angie, Such an interesting bread. I am so intrigued with the whole process…starting with the starter and ending with the kidney beans. It looks so moist and delicious…bookmarking this one!
What's Baking?? 30/6/13 15:33: You never fail to tempt me with your breads. This is simply wonderful.
Von 30/6/13 16:30: I love how bread can incorporate so many ingredients, especially healthy ones- I usually like to put a bit of chia seeds in mine to make it a little healthier (because I don't really like them in anything else) only because you don't really notice them haha.....I love the idea of putting kidney beans in bread!! I've never actually had kidney beans before haha.....is the texture sort of like chickpeas?
lena 30/6/13 18:13: i really love looking at your breads ..they are all so gorgeous and tangzhong! texture must be fabulous!
Unknown 30/6/13 23:33: This is an interesting bread Angie- kidney beans (wow!) and spelt flour-one of my favorites too ;-)

Hannah 1/7/13 19:00: I've seen bean flours and bean purees used in bread dough before, but never whole beans. This is such an awesome idea, I don't know why it hasn't come up sooner! There are so many possibilities by switching up the type of bean, too... I've just gotta try it.
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen Notes 2/7/13 04:41: Oh, you reminded me that I had wanted to try the tangzhong starter in a bread forever! I´m so intrigued by it. And the look of this bread is exactly what i like to make for myself. Love the whole beans Angie!
Blog do Chocolate 2/7/13 11:24: Angie,

You are a pure professional bread-maker, I must say !
I love this one, so fantastic and with a beautiful colour ! :)

Cheers

Cass @foodmyfriend 3/7/13 12:12: How versatile are red kidney beans?! I made a yummy dinner with them tonight :) Your bread looks amazing - as usual. Slop some butter on that and I would be all over it!
Kelly Mulcair Registered Nutritionist. Content © 2011 Trinity Nutrition. 3/7/13 20:30: I'm so glad you showed a picture of the interior of the loaf so we could see the little beans -- how great is that? I love the idea of a legume loaf; so inventive!
