GRAINS:
2 1/2 cups hard red wheat
1 1/2 cups spelt -- or rye (biblically spelt was used, ezekiel 4:9)
1/2 cup barley -- (hulled barley)
1/4 cup millet
1/4 cup lentils -- (green preferred)
2 tablespoons great northern beans
2 tablespoons red kidney beans
2 tablespoons pinto beans
LIQUIDS:
4 cups lukewarm water
1 cup honey
1/2 cup oil
ADD TO LIQUIDS:
freshly milled flour from the above mixture of grains
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons yeast
Recipe
Grind the grains into flour. Add the salt and yeast to the liquids. Add flour.
Stir or knead until well kneaded about 10 minutes. This is a batter type bread and will not form a smooth ball.
Pour dough into greased pans. You may use 2 large loaf pans (10x5x3) or 3 med. loaf pans or 2-9x13 brownie pans. Let rise in a warm place for one hour or until the dough is almost to the top of the pan. If it rises too much it will overflow the pan while baking. Bake at 350o for 45-50 minutes for loaf pans and 35-40 minutes for brownie pans.
*For fasting divide bread into 8 equal parts weighing 1/2 pound each. Eat a 1/2 pound cake and drink a quart of water every day. For fasting I do not alter the recipe.
This is a very sweet, moist, cake-like bread. For a more traditional bread texture I have used this combination of grains in THE BECKERS BREAD AND ROLL RECIPE. Replacing the 7 cups of flour with the 9 cups of flour from the milled grains in this recipe. You may also add fruits and nuts or use the flour made from this mixture in other favorite recipes. This healthy combination of grains and beans is worth experimenting with. Combining grains and beans makes a complete protein.
