BREAD, Ezekiel Bread, Very Healthy & Nutrious
This bread is highly recommended by nutritionists when following an anti-inflammatory diet to help reduce chronic pain.  Found in the refrigerated section at supermarkets.

Ezekiel bread derives its name from Ezekiel 4:9 when God instructed Ezekiel to fast by only eating bread made from wheat, barley, beans, lentils, and millet.  

I mill my own wheat and beans (for these reasons), and I highly suggest you do the same.  Several local farmer’s markets have booths that will mill wheat for you.  I borrowed a friend’s mill until I purchased my own.  If you simply can’t find a mill to use, you can purchase the flour here (you’ll skip the first step of the recipe if you buy pre-milled flour).

The following recipe has been altered from the Bread Beckers Recipe Collection and from my friend, Mrs. Cathy.  Enjoy!
Ingredients
  • 2 ½ cups wheat grains (I use either hard red or hard white)
  • 1 ½ cups spelt
  • ½ cup hulled barley
  • ¼ cup millet
  • ¼ cup dry green lentils
  • 2 Tbs. dry northern beans
  • 2 Tbs. dry kidney beans
  • 2 Tbs. dry pinto beans
  • 4 cups lukewarm whey (or water, the whey just adds more flavor and nutrients)
  • 1 ⅛ cups raw, local honey
  • ½ cup oil (I use olive oil or coconut oil)
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbs. active dry yeast (2 packages)
  • ½ cup milled flax seed (optional)
  • 2 Tbs. dough enhancer (optional)
  • 1 Tbs. gluten (optional)
  • 1 egg plus 2 Tbs. water (optional, for egg wash on top)
  • sunflower or sesame seeds (optional, for garnish on top)
  • dried fruit (optional, for added flavor and nutrition)
