08/01/04 		You are trying to make a bread with beans- there is no mesh of protein chains to catch the bubbles and let it rise!
Use 2=3 tablespoons of gluten in each cup of flour. Use some barley flour (very low glycemic index, high fiber) and Oat bran for grains. Don't forget the salt to strengthen the gluten. If you get a recipe you like, send it in.
