Ezekiel Bread Recipe (Yeast-Free Grain Bread)
Ezekiel bread recipe: This is a yeast-free, grain-style loaf made with wheat flour and lentils. You’ll mix a thick batter-like dough, transfer it to loaf pans, and bake until set. It slices well for toast and sandwiches. Ingredients (malzemeleri) and how to make (nasıl yapılır) are below.
Ingredients
Dry mix
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep pans
Heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Lightly oil two large loaf pans or line them with parchment.
Cook and puree the lentils
Rinse the lentils well. Simmer in plenty of water until tender, then drain. Once slightly cooled, blend to a mostly smooth puree.
Combine the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour and salt. Stir well so the salt is evenly distributed.
Mix the liquids
In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, warm water, olive oil, and honey until the honey loosens up.
Make the dough
Stir the lentil puree into the liquid mixture. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix just until no dry flour remains; the dough will be thick and sticky.
Fill the pans
Divide the dough between the loaf pans. Smooth the top with a damp spatula for an even bake.
Bake
Bake on the middle rack for 70 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes.
Cool, then slice
Let the loaves sit in the pans for 10 minutes, then move to a rack. Slice only after fully cooled so the crumb sets cleanly.
