This Ezekiel bread is the bread that Ezekiel lived off of while he was in the desert for two years. It is supposed to be nutritionally complete. The recipe calls for grinding your own flour from a variety of grains and dried beans.

Ingredients

4 cups warm water , 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
1 cup honey
0.5 cups olive oil
2 packages active dry yeast , .25 ounce
2.5 cups wheat berries
1.5 cups spelt flour
0.5 cups barley

2 tablespoons dry kidney beans
