Ezekiel Bread (Wing And A Prayer Recipe)
- 1 cup canned garbanzo beans, undrained
- 5 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C)), divided
- 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 1 cup dried lentils
- 1/2 cup millet
- 2 tablespoons dried great northern beans
- 2 tablespoons dried mung beans
- 2 tablespoons dried adzuki beans
- 8 cups whole wheat flour
- 4 cups barley flour
- 1/4 cup rye flour
- 1 cup honey
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- Place garbanzo beans in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Stir 1/2 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast dissolves. Let stand until yeast forms a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
- Combine lentils, millet, great northern beans, mung beans, and adzuki beans in a high-powdered food processor or blender. Blend on high speed until fine enough to pass through the mesh of a sifter or strainer.
- Pour lentil mixture into a large bowl. Mix in whole wheat flour, barley flour, and rye flour.
- Place cooled garbanzo beans in a large bowl. Add honey, olive oil, and salt; mash together. Stir in remaining 4 3/4 cups water. Stir in yeast mixture. Whisk in 2 cups flour mixture. Stir in remaining flour mixture, 1 cup at a time, kneading well until dough is smooth.
- Grease a large bowl and place dough inside. Cover with a very damp cloth. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Deflate dough and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead gently and divide into 4 pieces. Form each piece into a loaf.
- Grease four 9x5-inch loaf pans. Place loaves inside. Cover with a very damp cloth and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown and the bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 1 hour.
