Rather than making your own flour, this recipe uses a variety of flours purchased at a health food or specialty store.
1 Tbsp traditional yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1/2 Tbsp honey 4 cups wheat flour 2 cup barley flour 1 cup soybean flour 1/4 cup millet flour 2 Tbsp rye flour 1/2 cup lentils, cooked and mashed 2 & 1/2 Tbsp oil 2 & 3/4 cup warm water 1 & 1/2 tsp salt Dissolve the yeast and the honey in warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes. Mix the dry ingredients in a seperate bowl. Blend lentils, oil and small amount of water and place in a third large mixing bowl with remaining water. Stir in one cup of mixed flour. Add yeast mixture. Stir in salt. Stir in remaining flour, enough to make a smooth ball. Knead on floured surface, then place in oiled bowl. Let rise until double in bulk. Knead again; shape and place in greased loaf pans. Let rise. Bake at 375° for approximately 40 - 45 minutes. Makes 3 loaves. |
