Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 1 cup Canned pork and beans
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast has activated.
In a blender or food processor, puree the canned pork and beans until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture, pureed pork and beans, melted butter, and the egg to the flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan loosely and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired. Enjoy!
