Kuromame (sweetened black soybeans) are a standard item for oshogatsu New Year's feasts. Since I love them, every year, I buy the large black soybeans from the Tanba-Sasayama region, and simmer them for 6 to 8 hours. But every year, I have leftover liquid from stewing them. It's supposed to be good for your health, but since it's full of sugar, it doesn't seem right to drink it. I usually toss it out with regret since it seems wasteful, however, last year, at New Year's, when making basic steamed bread, I substituted the milk and sugar with the leftover liquid and they turned out great!The key to making these is the same as basic steamed bread. Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the liquid you have. Add a tablespoon of sugar if it's not sweet enough. If you don't have a cup of liquid, substitute with milk. When mixing, don't stir too much. For those who don't have a steamer, boil a small amount of water in a sauce pan, then set a bowl or plate inside, and steam one by one. Test the recipe with half the amount first. Recipe by Shirufi-

I bought a bread tube and wanted to test it out by making a spiral bread. So I made this black sesame cream and black bean spiral bread.When adding the beans and sandwiching the doughs together, roll a rolling pin over to pop trapped air bubbles.It's important to keep a close eye on this while the bread is proofing. After it has risen to 80% of the pan height, bake it straight away. Recipe by Youtank

So fun to play with beans and grains in making bread. They are absolutely amazing!

Crushed up sesame seeds are so much more fragrant and tasty than whole ones. You have to use them ground up, just like how sesame sauce on vegetables is better when made with ground sesame.Add the sesame seeds after the dough has been kneaded for a while. Preheat the oven before the dough has finishing rising. For 1 loaf. Recipe by Tsukakei

This is my favorite bread that I've been making for many years.The dough is soft. Use 190 ml water and dust your workspace with a little flour if it's difficult to handle. Pinch the seam tightly after filling the dough with the paste. If the paste is soft, it may leak out. Add in as much as you like (the photo shows 25 g x 14 = 350 g). Recipe by Blue poppy

I like my soy milk bread. In this recipe, I added green tea flavour to it.This bread doesn't rise so much, so if you are worried that the dough might not proof and you leave it longer, it will proof too much. Use your favorite kinds of amanatto. If you don't like too much sugar on the amanatto, rinse first. In that case, pat dry very well. Recipe by La Land

I used the black sesame and cheese buns sold at a certain bakery chain as my inspiration.Make the cheese cubes pretty big (if you cut them too small they'll just melt into the dough). You can make a crisscross cut on top of the buns and put the cheese in the cuts too! Recipe by Kokubocchi

One Cookpad user wrote that when she added water from a can of boiled adzuki beans to the bread, it tasted like an adzuki bean ice cream bar, so I wanted to try making it. I decided to combine the adzuki bread with some matcha bread dough. I played with different amounts of canned adzuki beans and water, and unexpectedly came up with a good combination, so I uploaded it.I think the amount of water in the adzuki beans varies slightly from maker to maker. After the bread maker starts the kneading process, open the lid and be ready to add some milk if necessary. There isn't much green tea dough, so you can knead it well while keeping an eye on the bread maker. Even when I made 1.5 loaves with just ◎, it turned out to be a rather delicious bread.

I came up with this recipe, thinking how I could make low-sugar bread cheaply. Recently, I found out that the shop I always buy the ingredients from, was using this recipe (some parts of it) for commercial purpose without my permission. I decided to upload this recipe here to emphasize my aim of this recipe (to make low-sugar bread cheaply).All the dry ingredients I used to make this bread are from a shop called Yutec. The most important things are to use 2 g of salt, and not to let the salt touch the dried yeast directly.The ratios of this recipe are based on the dry ingredients from Yutec. If you use dry ingredients from different company, you may need to adjust the amounts of water and other ingredients. Recipe by Momorin7171
