Making Ezekiel Bread

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Okay, I’m on a quest to make Ezekiel bread, much like Trader Joe’s sesame version. It is delicious and has a taste of its own. Many of the grains and beans are sprouted which give the bread much more nutrition than unsprouted version.

The Bible gave a generic recipe in Ezekiel 4:9 (the name of the bread in stores):

“Then take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and winter wheat. Put them in a container, and use them to make bread for yourself. Eat it during the 390 days that you are lying on your side.”

Unfortunately,  there are no measurements. ..and the versions I have seen call for yeast, salt, and a few other ingredients.

The ingredients are:

  • Sprouted wheat
  • Water
  • Sprouted barley
  • Sprouted millet
  • Malted barley
  • Sprouted lentils
  • Sprouted soybeans
  • Sprouted spelt
  • Fresh yeast
  • Wheat gluten
  • Sea salt
  • Sesame seeds

We started sprouting the soybeans as they will take 5 days or so. Lentils 4 days and the rest 3 days. I’ll detail the sprouting and baking soon.
