Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups Hard Red Wheat berries
  • 1.5 cups Spelt berries
  • 0.5 cup Barley hulled
  • 0.5 cup Millet
  • 0.25 cup Green Lentils
  • 0.25 cup Dry Beans Kidney, Northern, Pinto, or Black
  • 4 cups Warm Water 110°F
  • 1 cup Honey
  • 0.5 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 tbsp Vital Wheat Gluten optional for better rise
  • 1 tbsp Salt

Instructions

  • Measure and combine all dry grains and beans (wheat, spelt, barley, millet, lentils, and beans).
  • Grind the grain and bean mixture in a high-powered grain mill to create a fine, fresh flour.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the warm water, honey, olive oil, and yeast. Allow to proof for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • Add the fresh milled flour, salt, and vital wheat gluten (if using) to the wet ingredients.
  • Knead the mixture in a stand mixer equipped with a dough hook for approximately 10 minutes; the dough will likely remain sticky or batter-like compared to traditional breads.
  • Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  • Divide the dough evenly between the prepared pans.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until the dough reaches the top of the pans.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  • Remove from pans immediately and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Freeze any bread not consumed within 2-3 days.
