Description

Ezekiel bread is made with nutrient-rich flour. You can make your own Ezekiel bread at home by grinding a variety of whole grains and legumes.

Ingredients

4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 cup honey
1/2 cup olive oil
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups wheat berries
1 1/2 cups spelt flour
1/2 cup barley
1/2 cup millet
1/4 cup dry green lentils
2 tablespoons dry great Northern beans
2 tablespoons dry kidney beans
2 tablespoons dried pinto beans
2 tablespoons salt, or to taste

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients.
2 Mix water, honey, olive oil, and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, stir together wheat berries, spelt flour, barley, millet, lentils, great northern beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans together until well mixed.
4 Grind in a flour mill.
5 Add fresh milled flour mixture and salt to yeast mixture; stir until well mixed, about 10 minutes. The dough will be loose.
6 Pour dough into two greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Let rise in a warm place until dough has reached the top of the pan, about 1 hour.
7 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
8 Bake in the preheated oven until loaves are golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
