Follow this recipe to make dough for Ezekiel bread in the bread machine, then bake the loaf in the oven. In Ezekiel 4:9 in the Bible, there is a description of bread that Ezekiel was to live on for 390 days. This is my version, made with millet, rye, wheat germ, lentils, and barley.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dry black beans
- 1 tablespoon dry lentils
- 1 tablespoon dry kidney beans
- 1 tablespoon barley
- ½ cup warm milk
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup millet flour
- ¼ cup rye flour
- ¼ cup cracked wheat
- 2 tablespoons wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
Steps
- Grind black beans, lentils, kidney beans, and barley in a coffee grinder until fine.
- Place warm milk, warm water, egg, oil, honey, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, millet flour, rye flour, cracked wheat, ground bean mixture, wheat germ, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.
- Roll dough out onto a pastry cloth, then form into a loaf. Place loaf into a greased pan; cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until loaf is browned, 30 to 35 minutes more. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
