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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

What a lovely idea to include kidney beans into your loaf. I've always used beans in stews but certainly not in bread.

I've seen red kidney beans in many savoury and sweet dishes, but not in bread yet..I've heard it's toxic as raw plant. You're becoming the master of breads!!!

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. :)

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?

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.

[Reply]
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!
