EZEKIEL BREAD ...Ezekiel 4v9
4 packets of yeast
1 cup warm water
8 cups wheat flour
4 cups barley flour
2 cups soy flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1/4 cup rye flour
1/2 to 3/4 cup honey
1 cup lentils, cooked & mashed
4-5 Tablespoons olive oil
4 cups water
1 Tablespoon salt

Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water and 1 Tblsp. of honey. Set aside 10 minutes. Combine the next five ingredients. Blend lentils, oil, remaining honey and a small amount of water in a blender.
Place in a large mixing bowl with remaining water. Stir in salt and remaining flour. Place on floured bread board and knead until smooth. Put in oiled bowl. Let rise until double in bulk. Knead again, cut dough and shape into four large loaves. Place in greased pans. Let rise.

Bake at 375*F for 45 minutes to one hour.

(Note: There is some confusion about the "fitches" called for in the original recipe. Apparantly, the fitches in this passage referred to some seasoning herb. Cumin, fennel and nutmeg have all been suggested as the mistranslated "fitches". So take your pick or leave them out. Either one will add an extra touch of taste to your homemade bread from the Bible.)

Enjoy!!!

With Great Love,
