Make Your Own Ezekiel Bread {Guest Post}

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix the first 8 ingredients in a bowl and grind in a flour mill  (You may need to mill beans separately depending on your mill’s instructions) This makes approximately 9 cups flour
  2. In large glass bowl mix whey (or water), honey, oil, and salt
  3. In another bowl mix the milled flour, yeast, milled flax seed, dough enhancer, and gluten until well combined
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir or knead 10 minutes either by hand, dough hook, or mixer (since this is a batter bread, it will NOT form into a nice smooth ball)
  5. Pour dough into 2 large (10x5x3) greased pans, 4 small loaf pans, or 2 9×13 pans
  6. Optional step: “Paint” an egg wash over top sprinkled with sunflower or sesame seeds, dried fruit pushed into batter is also optional
  7. Cover with towel and let rise in pans an hour or until dough is about 1/4 inch from top of the pan, but not much higher or it might overflow in oven
  8. Bake at 350 degrees 30-50 minutes until thermometer reaches 190F or a toothpick comes out clean (smaller pans takes 30 minutes; larger pans closer to 45)
  9. Remove pans from oven and place on cooling rack
  10. Run a knife around the edges and remove loaves from pans immediately
  11. Let rest on sides but don’t cut into loaves until they’ve cooled at least 30 minutes
