Homemade Ezekiel Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1 cup honey
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 2.5 cups wheat berries
• 1.5 cups spelt flour
• 0.5 cup barley
• 0.5 cup millet
• 0.25 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

Instructions

1. Assemble all the necessary ingredients.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine water, honey, olive oil, and yeast. Allow the mixture to activate for 3 to 5 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine wheat berries, spelt flour, barley, millet, lentils, great northern beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
4. Using a flour mill, grind the mixed grains and beans into a fine flour.
5. Add the freshly milled flour mixture and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined, approximately 10 minutes. The dough will have a loose consistency.
6. Pour the dough evenly into two greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Let the dough rise in a warm area until it reaches the top of the pans, about 1 hour.
7. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
8. Bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are a rich, golden brown color, typically 45 to 50 minutes.
