Beautiful looking loaves.

Can you tell me your forumla for the black bean bread?

I tried making a sourdough bread with beans a few months ago and I had to add it to the compost heap as it tasted horrible.

Thanks.

Thanks.  That is a very interesting formula.  What did the beans end up tasting like in the bread?

sorry!  I forgot to list salt...should be 5 gram of slat in the fomula.

Both beans and bread taste sweet, not heavy but natural kind.

(Although I only cooked them with a pinch of salt water)

Seems like it turn out to be my mother's favorite, she kept asking me to bake them again (^^).

and bread!  Can you taste the earl grey? The jasmine green tea taste in a recent bake was not evident in the finished bread.

Nice baking kiki

I've put the grinded earl grey tea leaf and I could still enjoy the light scent of earl grey and flavor

with the finished bread. 

I've never thought of making bread with jasmine tea...gave me some inspiration...will try!!

Thanks, dabrownman!
