Ingredients for sprouting

  • ¼ cup brown rice
  • ¼ cup millet
  • ¼ cup quinoa
  • ¼ cup amaranth
  • ¼ cup buckwheat
  • ¼ cup lentils

Additional ingredients:

  • ½ cup tapioca starch
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup flaxseeds
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • 2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 ¾ cups warm water 110°F/43°C
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

Sprouting:

  • In separate jars or bowls, soak the brown rice, millet, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, and lentils in water for 8-12 hours, or overnight.
  • After soaking, drain the water and rinse each grain and legume thoroughly. Transfer each one to a sprouting jar or container. You can also use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Rinse and drain 2-3 times a day until you see sprouts emerging (about 2-4 days).
  • Once sprouted, spread the grains and legumes out on a clean towel or paper towel to dry for a few hours.

Making Flour:

  • Grind the sprouted grains and legumes in a food processor or high-powered blender until they form a fine flour. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your blender.

Preparing the Dough and Baking:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sprouted flour, tapioca starch, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine the active dry yeast, honey or maple syrup, and warm water. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy.
  • Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough.
  • Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, slice and serve your gluten-free Ezekiel bread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain its freshness. For longer storage, you can also freeze the bread.
