Bread contains different ingredients and the most important and most common is the base which is flour. Aside from regular flour that contains wheat, spelt is also commonly used in making bread.

Ingredients

180 grams Bob's Red Mill Spelt Flour
2 1/2 Cups Water (approximately 45 °C/113 °F)
17 grams Active Dry Yeast (2 1/2 packets)
14 grams Salt
60 grams Bob's Red Mill Millet Flour
60 grams Bob's Red Mill Barley Flour or Spicy World Barley Flour
475 grams Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour
25 grams Pinto Beans (or whole grain already milled into Flour)
50 grams Green lentil Flour
25 grams Dry Kidney Beans (or whole grain already milled into Flour)
25 grams Dry Great Northern Beans (or whole grain already milled into Flour)
1 Cup Honey
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
Optional: 10 grams Sesame Seeds and Pumpkin Seeds (cracked)

Instructions

If any beans are not available as flour you may use whole beans. Combine them in a high-powered food processor, blender, or grain mill. Blend or grind on high speed until fine enough to pass through the mesh of a sifter. Only use beans that have been sieved in this recipe. If pumpkin seeds are being used, crack them and store them until needed.

Stir the yeast in 1 cup of warm water until it dissolves. Let sit for 5-8 minutes to activate dry yeast until a creamy foam is formed.

In a separate large mixing bowl or in a mixer, combine all grains and bean flours. Add salt and mix thoroughly. Then add honey and olive oil and continue mixing.

Then add the dissolved yeast and continue mixing.

Add the remaining water intermittently as you knead in the mixture. If the dough is wet enough, as you knead, stop adding water. Knead until the dough is smooth for about 10 minutes. Use a flat surface to knead if more convenient.

In the bowl, shape the dough into a ball.

Grease the bowl and return the dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm, enclosed place until it's double the size or for about 1 hour.

Deflate the dough on a lightly floured surface by kneading. Cut into 2 equal pieces and roll into a loaf shape.

Grease two 9"x5" pans and place a loaf in each pan. If you are using pumpkin or sesame seeds, spritz water on top of the dough and sprinkle the seeds across. Cover with a very damp cloth.

Return the pans to the enclosed place, so the dough can rise again until the center is slightly above the top of the pan or for about 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Bake loaves for 45 to 60 minutes until golden brown, and the bottom is cooked.

Remove from the oven and place in a cooling rack. The loaves can be sliced and served with your favorite healthy filling.

Place in moisture-proof bags or containers for longer life and store in the refrigerator.
