I always appreciate a recipe that harks back to ancient times. They often have simple origins and incorporate grains that are simple yet nutritious. Ezekiel bread is one such bread.
Ezekiel bread is a bread that is made from a variety of grains and legumes. It is said to be a nutritionally complete bread, as it contains all of the essential nutrients that the human body needs. Ezekiel bread is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. It is also a low-glycemic index food, which means that it does not cause a spike in blood sugar levels after eating. This makes it a good choice for people with diabetes or prediabetes.
Step-by-step
- Measure the water, honey, olive oil, and yeast into a large bowl. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir all of the grains and beans together until well mixed. Grind in a flour mill.
- Add fresh milled flour and salt to the yeast mixture; stir until well mixed, about 10 minutes. The dough will be like that of a batter bread.
- Pour dough into two greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
- Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until dough has reached the top of the pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until loaves are golden brown.
