Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/3 cups 200 g dry white beans (I used Great Northern beans)
  • Water to soak beans
  • 1 and 1/3 cups 325 mL water
  • 3 tablespoons 45 mL olive oil (more, if desired, for drizzling on top)
  • 1/2 cup 56 g coconut flour
  • 2 and 1/2 teaspoons 12 mL baking powder
  • 1/2 2.5 mL teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Thoroughly rinse and drain the beans. Place the beans in a large bowl and add enough water to cover beans by at least 1 inch (2.5 cm). Soak 8 hours or overnight. Drain.
  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a high-speed blender, process the drained beans with the 1 and 1/3 cups (315 mL) water and oil until completely blended and smooth.
  • Transfer the bean mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the coconut flour, baking powder and salt until completley blended.
  • Scrape the dough (it will be thick) onto the prepared baking sheet. With a spoon or moist hands, press into an even 13x9-inch (33x22 cm) rectangle. If desired, drizzle with a few teaspoons of additional olive oil and/or sprinkle with optional rosemary.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 32 minutes until the surface appears dry with small cracks, and the outer edges are very light golden brown.
  • Cool on a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at (cool) room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 1 week, or the freezer for up to 3 months.
Quick-Soak Method for Beans: Rinse and drain the beans. Place the drained beans in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover by an inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let soak, uncovered, for 1 hour. Drain and rinse under cool water.
