Bread Machine Ezekiel Bread

1 ¼ cups water (I use hot tap water but you can warm on the stovetop, too)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast

In cold weather, I heat the measuring cup with some hot water before I use it so it doesn’t affect the temperature range I want.

Measure the water and syrup into a measuring cup. Using a digital thermometer, check the temperature range. If it’s below 105, you can warm ¼ cup of the liquid on the stovetop to reach the correct temperature range. Once it’s the correct temperature, stir in the yeast, dissolving as much of the yeast as possible. Set aside.

2 ¼ cups white wheat flour (red wheat flour produces a coarser bread)

¾ cup spelt flour

¼ cup barley flour

¼ cup millet flour

¼ cup lentil flour

¼ cup bean flour (I used black bean but any bean flour would work)

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 Tablespoon wheat gluten (optional but gives a higher rise)

Sift all dry ingredients well.

If temperatures are very cold, I use hot water to warm my bread machine canister before I use it. Pour yeast mixture into bread machine; add dry ingredients.

2 Tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
