   2       c            Milk -- lukewarm
   2       pk           Dry yeast
   2       c            Pinto beans -- cooked, mashed,
                        - unseasoned
   2       tb           Sugar
   2       ts           Salt

   5       c            Flour -- up to 6 c

  Blend milk and yeast in a large bowl. Add beans, sugar, salt, and
  shortening.  Stir in flour, adding enough to handle dough easily.
  Turn onto floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Place
  in greased bowl, turning once. Cover and let rise in warm place
  until double in size, about 1 hour. Punch down, cover, and let rise
  again until almost double. Divide dough into two portions and shape
  into loaves. Place in greased pans; cover, let rise until almost
  double, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 F for 50 minutes.
