Ezekiel Bread Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

•      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
•      4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
•      1 cup honey
•      1/2 cup olive oil
•      2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
•      2 tablespoons salt

DIRECTIONS:

1.    Measure the water, honey, olive oil, and yeast into a large bowl. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
2.    Stir all of the grains and beans together until well mixed. Grind in a flour mill. Add fresh milled flour and salt to the yeast mixture; stir until well mixed, about 10 minutes. The dough will be like that of a batter bread. Pour dough into two greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
3.    Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until dough has reached the top of the pan.
4.    Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until loaves are golden brown.
