1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1te teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 garlic clove, minced, or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 packages fast-acting dry yeast
1 cup water
1/2 cup canola oil or other vegetable oil
1 egg
1 (4 1/2-ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained, or 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño pepper
2 cups (8 oz.) Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
In blender container food processor bow with metal blade, finely chop tomatoes; Add beans, yogurt, cumin, oregano; parsley and garlic; process 10 to 15 seconds or until beans are mashed. Set aside.
In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast; mix well. In small saucepan, heat water and oil until very warm (120 to 130°F.). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Add bean mixture; beat until well mixed. By hand, stir in green chiles and an additional 3 1/2 to 4 cups flour to form a stiff dough.
On floured or cornmeal-coated surface, knead in 1/2 to 1 cup flour for about 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) for 45 to 60 minutes or until light and doubled in size.
Grease two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans or 1 large cookie sheet. Punch down dough. Divide dough in half; shape each half into 6-inch round loaf. Place in greased pans. Using sharp knife, 1 1/2 inches from edge, cut 2 1/2-inch-deep ring around each loaf. Cut another 2 1/2-inch-deep ring 1 inch inside of first cut. Insert cheese in cuts; pinch cut edges to seal. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 40 minutes or until light and almost doubled in size.
Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover dough. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until loaves are deep golden brown and sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
