While it is not particularly tasty, the combination of grains used to make the bread, combine to make a complete protein that satisfies all the body's nutritional requirements. It was the original survival bread and it came from a prophet who recommended cooking it over a dung fire. Every word of this is true. You can't make this stuff up, folks.

"But as for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt, put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days."

Basically you grind up barley, wheat, beans, lentils, millet, and emmer wheat. This mix is full of gluten. So if you're on a gluten-free diet, don't bake this type of bread. If you can digest all this gluten from wheat and barley, then you might ferment the grains until they sprout and then grind them up, mix with water and salt or spices and herbs, roll out the dough, and bake into a flatbread.

Bible bread often refers to Ezekiel 4.9. which says, depending upon the translation, "Take unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou liest upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.

Making Your Own Ezekiel Bread

Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bread Recipes have the following ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups sprouted wheat berries
• 1 1/2 cups sprouted spelt grains
• 1/2 cups sprouted barley grains
• 1/2 cup millet
• 1/4 cup dry green lentils
• 2 tablespoons dry great Northern beans
• 2 tablespoons dry kidney beans
• 2 tablespoons dried pinto beans
• 4 cups warm water
• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons salt

Mix together the sprouted wheat berries, spelt grains and barley grains, along with the millet, lentils and beans. Grind them in your grain mill and then place your Ezekiel flour in a bowl.

In another large bowl, add the water, honey, olive oil and yeast. Stir and then allow it to sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Then add the flour mixture along with the salt to the yeast mixture. Stir for about ten minutes until it is well mixed. Your dough will resemble a batter bread. Pour the bread dough into two greased, 9 × 5 loaf pans and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. Then bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 50 minutes until the loaves are golden brown. Ezekiel sprouted grain bread recipes like this one make two loaves.
