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)
