Sprouted Ezekiel Bread Recipe

This makes 2 pound and a half loaves of bread!.
Cut ingredients in half except for yeast if making 1 loaf!.

4 cups Prairie Gold hard white wheat
1/4 cup kamut
1/4 cup spelt
1/8 cup lentils
1/8 cup millet
1/4 cup of mixed beans (pinto, pink, and small white)

Mix all of the above well!. Divide into 3 parts!. Place each part in a 1 quart canning jar!. Fill the jars with water and let mix soak for 24 hours!. Cover the jars with cheesecloth (or a piece of nylon hosiery)!. Attach the cover with a rubberband!. Drain the water from each jar!. Rinse the grains with clear water!. Turn the jars upside down in a dish to allow them to drain completely!. Rinse and drain again 24 hours later, and repeat the process again in 24 more hours!. The beans will be the last to start tiny shoots!. When you see those, the mix is ready to grind in a meat grinder or food mill for wet foods!. Drain the grains well before grinding!. When it comes out of the grinder, the mixture will be a heavy dough, ready for you to make into your favorite bread product!.

Sprouted Grain Ezekiel Bread

Grease 2 medium bread pans!. Place your dough in a heavy duty mixer with dough hooks (hand or electric)!.

Add

1/3 Cup Oil
1/3 Cup Honey
1/2 tsp!. Ascorbic Acid or Citric Acid
2 Tbs!. Yeast
2 Tsp!. Salt
3 TBS Gluten

Turn on mixer or begin mixing with hand kneader!. (If the dough is too wet, add some gluten or allowed flour until dough cleans the sides!.) Knead for 10 minutes!. Oil counter!. Take dough out of mixer bowl and place on counter!. Divide into two equal parts!. Tuck under edges and place in medium loaf pans!. Place pans in warm oven (150 degrees) or covered in a warm location for 30 minutes or until doubled in size!. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown!. Remove bread from pans and place on rack to cool!. (A solar oven that reaches at least 300 degrees will do an excellent job baking this bread!. Solar cooking produces a fluffier, lighter bread!. The lower the temperature, the longer it will take to cook!.)

Slice when cool!.

If you are using an electric bread baker, cut the recipe in half except for the yeast!.
Use 1 1/2 TBS yeast!. Place the ground sprouts and other ingredients in the machine and select the whole wheat cycle!. Let me know how it turns out!. Some machines turn out better than others!. Don't give up if it didn't turn out the first time!. Experiment!. Bread baking is an art, not a science!. Once you have perfected a loaf to your liking, you'll have lots of fun with variations!.

Never tried!. But apparently this is the bread that Ezekiel lived off of while he was in the desert for two years!. It is supposed to be nutritionally complete!. The recipe calls for grinding your own flour from a variety of grains and dried beans!."

All bread is baked!. Even if they sprout some of the seeds that go into it, the baking process will denature any enzymes in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
