Ingredients
2.5 cups sprouted whole wheat flour
1.5 cups spelt flour
1/2 cup barley flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1/4 cup lentil flour
2 tbsp soy flour
1.5 cups warm water (110°F)
1 packet (2.25 tsp) active dry yeast
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Step 1: In a small bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy and active.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the sprouted wheat flour, spelt flour, barley flour, millet flour, lentil flour, soy flour, and sea salt.
Step 3: Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Use a dough hook or a sturdy spoon to mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 4: Knead the dough for 10 minutes by hand or 7 minutes in a stand mixer on medium-low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic. The Ezekiel bread recipe dough will be slightly heavier than standard white bread dough.
Step 5: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Step 6: Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a rectangular loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 7: Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until the dough has risen about an inch above the pan.
Step 8: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
Step 9: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Ensure your water is not too hot or it will kill the yeast. For the best Ezekiel bread recipe results, use fresh sprouted flours.
