Ezekial Bread

This bread supposedly is so healthy to eat that one could live off of it by itself.  Hence the name... 
Ezekial bread:

20 parts wheat
12 parts spelt
4 parts hulled barley
2 parts hulled millet
2 parts lentil
2 parts pinto beans
1 part great northern beans
1 part kidney beans

This is complete in nutrients, containing all 8 essential amino acids.

To make the bread:

4 c warm water
1 c honey
1/2 c oil
2 TBS yeast
2 t salt
5 1/4 c Ezekial Mix flour

Measure water, honey, oil and yeast into large bowl.  Mix and set aside for 5 minutes until frothy.  Add salt and all of the flour.  Mix with spoon until stretchy and elastic, about 7 minutes.  Pour into 3 greased bread pans in even amounts.  Set oven to the lowest temperature and let rise 15-20 minutes.  Level should be within 1/2 inch of the top of the pan.  Do not let it rise any further or you will have a major gooey mess in your oven.  Without opening the oven, turn the heat up to 350 degrees and cook for 25-30 minutes. 

(I used the flour in a regular recipe.  Seems it will take some experimentation to get that right.  I think it will turn out better cut with some white flour, it came out heavy.  Melanie)
