Ezekiel Bread

Combine and grind in any wheat grinder (we used a MM):

  • 7 c. wheat
  • 1 c. barley
  • 1/4 c. pinto beans
  • 1/4 c. soybeans
  • 1/4 c. lentils
  • 1 c. rye

In bowl, combine:

  • 5 c. hot water
  • 1/2 c. butter or margarine
  • 1/2 c. molasses or honey
  • 3 T. yeast
  • 1 1/2 T. salt

Add until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl:

  • multigrain flour (that you just ground)
  • 1/3 c. millet
  • 1/2 c. gluten flour

Knead for about ten minutes. The dough is very dark and stiff. Shape into four round loves (or we rolled it into long strips and braided it—either way is good!), and place on well-greased baking sheets. Place in warm spot and let rise till double. Bake at 350 F. for 35-40 minutes. Slice when cool. We like to spread peanut butter on it. It is very good that way!

“Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof.”* (Ezekiel 4:9)

Planning Foods That Go Together

Something soft and something crisp,
Should always go together,
And something hot and something cold
No matter what the weather;
Serve bland foods with tangy sauce
And garnish them with green
If you will use these simple rules
You’ll be your family’s queen!
