Kidney bean and red date bread

Overview

Loving yourself is one of the reasons for cooking delicious food. Foodies who love themselves can only give themselves gifts, haha. When I was cooking bean porridge, I saw kidney beans and suddenly wanted to eat bread made from kidney beans, so I soaked the beans to make stuffing. After a day of preparation, I finally ate bread stuffed with kidney beans and red dates. It felt very satisfying. A piece of bread can make me feel satisfied, haha, I am a very contented person, O(∩_∩)O!

  5. Finally crush it. I wanted to eat a slightly grainy filling, so I didn’t use a food processor. If you like finely chopped beans, you can first crush the cooked beans with a food processor, so the filling will be very fine
