Ezekiel Fasting Bread recipe

Combine the following whole grains:

2 1/2 cups hard red wheat berries
1 1/2 cups spelt or rye (Biblically Spelt was used, Ezekiel 4:9)
1/2 cup barley, hulled
1/4 cup millet
1/4 cup dried lentils, green (preferred)
2 tablespoons dried great northern beans
2 tablespoons dried red kidney beans
2 tablespoons dried pinto beans

Stir the above ingredients very well. Grind in a flour mill.

Measure the following into a large bowl:

4 cups lukewarm water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup olive oil

To these liquids add the flour mixture plus:

2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons instant yeast

Stir or knead until well kneaded about 10 minutes. Since this is a batter-type bread, it will not form a smooth ball. Divide the dough and put into 2 greased (10 x 5 x 3-inch) loaf pans, 3 medium loaf pans or 2 (9 x 12) brownie pans. Let rise in a warm place for one hour or until the dough is almost to the top of the pans. Don t allow it to rise too much or it will overflow the pans while baking.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 50 minutes for the loaf pans and 35 40 minutes for the brownie pans.
