EZEKIEL BREAD SHOPRITE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place lentils, pinto beans, white beans, great Northern beans, and red beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak 8 hours to overnight.
• Drain lentils, pinto beans, white beans, Northern beans, and red beans; combine in a large pot. Add 1 cup warm water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until tender, adding more water if needed, about 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Dissolve 1 tablespoon honey, 2 cups bread flour, and 2 packages yeast in 2 cups warm water in a bowl to make the starter.
• Mix wheat germ, wheat and barley cereal, flax seeds, spelt, oat bran, oats, and millet together in a bowl. Add 2 cups warm water, 2 packages yeast, and 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour; stir until well combined.
• Puree bean mixture in a food processor; transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the starter and wheat germ mixture; mix. Add the 1 cup water, remaining honey, canola oil, sugar, and salt; mix to combine. Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour in batches, mixing thoroughly after each addition; stir until no dry spots remain.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in a large, lightly-oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover with a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Grease 3 large loaf pans. Divide dough equally and place into the prepared pans. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
• Remove loaves from pans and return to oven, placed upside-down on the bare oven rack. Continue baking until bottoms are browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool.

Steps:

• Measure the water, honey, olive oil, and yeast into a large bowl. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir all of the whole grains and beans together until well  mixed, then grind in a flour mill or blender and blend together with any grains you had that were already ground.
• Add this flour mixture to the yeast mixture and stir until well combined - the dough will be very sticky and wet.
• Pour the dough into a prepared loaf pan and let rise in a warm place four about 45 minutes, or until it reaches the top of the pan.
• Bake at 350 F (175 C) for about 45 - 50 minutes, or until golden brown.
