  • Publication number: 20060003072
    Abstract: A bread product low in carbohydrate content is formed using an ingredient made from dehydrated beans. The ingredient is a reconstitutable bean powder particulate, and has been found to add flavor to the bread product. It can also partially substitute for wheat-based flour in a dough composition. The reconstitutable bean powder particulate may be made by a process including conditioning beans by hydration, cooking the conditioned beans, dehydrating the cooked beans, then comminuting the particulates to particular ranges.
