Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 package dry yeast
2 cups very warm water (120u00b0 to 130u00b0)
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup honey
1 cup drained canned black beans
1/2 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons diced seeded Anaheim chile
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 tablespoon minced seeded jalapeno pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon tarragon-flavored vinegar
4 3/4 cups bread flour, divided
Vegetable cooking spray

1
Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; stir. Add water, yogurt, and honey; stir. Let stand 30 minutes. Add beans and next 12 ingredients (beans through vinegar); stir. Stir in 4 1/2 cups bread flour to form a soft dough.
2
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent the dough from sticking to hands. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85u00b0), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
3
Punch dough down. Divide dough into 4 equal portions, and shape each portion into a 6-inch round loaf. Place loaves 4 inches apart on large baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Make 4 (1/8-inch-deep) diagonal cuts across tops of loaves. Dust loaves with flour. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375u00b0 for 25 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped; let cool on wire racks.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
