Well this was a very interesting and unusual bread! I used baked beans and rinsed/drained them well to remove all of the sauce. I made this just as directed and it came out very soft and mushy, almost like a corn pudding. The texture was a little odd but the flavor was pretty good - I plan to try it again and add enough extra flour and cornmeal to produce something more like a cornbread. Not the same-old-same-old - thanks for posting this!
