Ezekial flour.

COUNTRYSIDE: Carlene asked about Ezekial flour in the last issue (July/ Aug. 2001, pg. 29). The ingredients are listed as follows:

"Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches (spelt or rye) and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof. (Ezekial 4:9a King James Version)"

Although I have not tried to make this, I would try it in these amounts: One cup each of barley, beans, lentils, millet, fitches (spelt or rye). To this mixture add 16 cups (5 pounds) bread flour. My reasoning is this: When baking with a coarser grain, that one cup whole wheat to three cups bread flour makes a more tender loaf.

I hope this may be of some help to Carlene. If someone has a better recipe, I would like to hear from them.
