Below is a variety of information and recipes about Ezekiel Bread, 
one even for the ABM and another using a sourdough as a leavener. One 
does use 2 cups of soy flour, but if you look at some of the other 
recipes, other flours can be easily substituted.

I've used five 'equal' signs to separate the recipes.

Debra Ridings is a friend of my daughter. She researched the bread 
described in Ezekiel and has been making bread as a hobby for quite 
some time.  Word spread about her Ezekiel bread and she has quite a 
few customers including two health spas, and an Emory professor.

I talked with Debra to get permission to post the article below and 
her name. She told me she was not interested in becoming a company, 
and makes bread in her home because she enjoys it and anyone coming 
to her door wanting food will be given bread free.

She had really done a lot of nutritional research and, as she said, 
this bread has to contain all essential vitamins and nutrients to 
keep Ezekiel alive for 2 years on nothing but this bread and pure 
water. In order for the bread to have all this nutrition the grains 
must be ground, and used, on the day the

bread is made. Any leftovers can be frozen for later use. She said 
shipping the bread was cost prohibitive (she only makes $.32 per loaf 
profit), but that she will be happy to share her recipe with anyone 
wanting to take the time to grind the grains and make the bread. If 
you live close enough you can buy the bread - it's $3.50 per loaf, or 
flour ground to your specifications, using any or these grains and 
beans can be purchased (I have my order in for 5 lb.). By the way 
she's going to Idaho to pick up 4,000 pounds of beans and grain 
because they can't get it to her by the time she needs it. The beans 
are sealed in 20 lb. buckets, and have a shelf life of about 7 years 
if unopened.

EZEKIEL FASTING BREAD

"TAKE WHEAT AND BARLEY, BEANS AND LENTILS, MILLET AND SPELT: PUT THEM 
IN A STORAGE JAR AND USE THEM TO MAKE BREAD FOR YOURSELF." (EZEKIEL 4:9 NIV)

This bread is moist and cake-like in texture. It contains 14.5 grams 
of protein and 2.5 grams of fiber for each 100 grams of flour. It is 
rich and robust in flavor, more so than any made with whole wheat 
flour. It should be well chewed. Ezekiel was commanded by God to lie 
on his left side in the town of Jerusalem for 360 days (the year 
calendar of the Jewish people). Then he was to lie on his right side 
for 360 days. This was to make a point to the people of

Jerusalem that God would punish them for their sins if they did not 
repent. Ezekiel was sustained on this bread alone, consuming only one 
quart of water per day and 1/2 of a loaf of this bread. It was 
witnessed by the people of Jerusalem after the two year period, that 
Ezekiel got up and walked away, in perfect health.

The ingredients used to make the "Ezekiel" flour are as follows: Hard 
Red Wheat, Spelt or rye, barley, millet, Green Lentils, Great 
Northern Beans, Red Kidney Beans, and Pinto Beans. The bread is made 
with this flour, water, honey,
yeast and olive oil. It is all natural and the flour mixture was 
milled fresh, just before making the bread.

This bread contains all of the protein, amino acids, fiber, vitamins, 
and minerals to support life, along with pure water. I hope you enjoy 
this treat. I know your body will thank you!

NOTES : This one is different in that it calls for the legumes to be 
cooked first. Also, since this is an ABM recipe, I suspect this 
creates more of a traditional yeast bread dough, while the other two 
I posted are basically batter breads.

Whole Grain & Cereal Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 cups whole wheat
1 1/2 cups whole rye
1/2 C barley
1/4 C millet
1/4 C lentils
2 Tbsp great northern beans -- (uncooked)
2 Tbsp red kidney beans -- (uncooked)
2 Tbsp pinto beans -- (uncooked)
2 cups lukewarm water -- divided
1/2 C honey -- PLUS
1 tsp honey -- divided
1/4 C extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 tsp salt

Measure and combine all the above ingredients in a large bowl. Put 
this mixture into a flour mill and grind. The flour should be the 
consistency of regular flour. Coarse flour may cause digestion 
problems. This makes eight cups of flour. Use four cups per batch of bread.

Measure four cups of flour into a large bowl. Store the remaining 
flour mixture in the freezer for future use.

Measure one C lukewarm water (110F to 115F) in a small mixing bowl. 
Add 1 tsp of the honey and the yeast, stir to dissolve the yeast, 
cover and set aside, allowing the yeast to rise for five to ten minutes.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the following: olive oil, 1/2 C honey 
and remaining C of warm water. Mix well and add this to the flour 
mixture in the large bowl. Add the yeast to the bowl and stir until 
well mixed. The mixture should be the consistency of slightly "heavy" 
cornbread. Spread the mixture evenly in a 11x15 inch pan sprayed with 
no-cholesterol cooking oil. Let the mixture rise for one hour in a warm place.

Bake at 375F for approximately thirty minutes. Check for doneness. 
Bread should be the consistency of baked cornbread.

This recipe has been adapted directly from Ezekiel 4:9

NOTES: Then as now, Ezekiel's bread is crammed with such wholesome,
life-extending nutrients as protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, 
sodium, potassium, vitamins A and C, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin.

NOTES : "Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and 
lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them into one vessel, and 
make thee bread thereof . . . Ezekiel 4:9

* (There is some confusion about the "fitches" called for in the 
original recipe. Apparently, the fitches referred to an herb. Cumin, 
fennel and nutmeg have all been suggested as the mistranslated 
"fitches". Take your pick or leave them out. Any of them will add a 
unique taste to your homemade bread.

Ezekiel's Six-Grain Bread

This recipe is found in Ezekiel 4:9, where God tells the prophet, 
"Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them 
in a single vessel and make bread out of them".

Yield: 2 loaves

2 C warm water
2 pkg yeast
2 Tbsp honey
1/4 C vegetable oil
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 C graham (whole wheat) flour, divided
1/4 C lentil flour
1/4 C white bean flour (fava, navy, etc.)
1/4 C barley flour
1/4 C millet flour
1/4 C spelt flour
1 1/2 Tbsp ground coriander
2 to 2 1/2 C bread flour
Sesame or poppy seeds (optional)

Combine water, yeast, honey, oil, and salt in a large bowl, stir to 
dissolve. Stir in 1/2 C of the graham flour. Beat thoroughly. Let 
stand 10 minutes, or until foamy.

Sift the remaining 1 C graham flour, lentil flour, bean flour, barley 
flour, millet flour, spelt flour and coriander together. Stir until 
well blended.

Add flour mixture, about 1 C at a time, to the yeast mixture, 
stirring thoroughly after each addition. Add enough of the bread 
flour to make a stiff dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 to 12 
minutes. Place in an oiled bowl and cover. Let rise 1 1/2 hours, or 
until dough has doubled in bulk.

Punch down dough. Knead lightly, then let dough rest 5 minutes. 
Divide in half and shape into two round loaves. Place loaves on a 
lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes, or 
until doubled. While dough is rising, preheat oven to 350F. If 
desired, lightly brush the tops of risen loaves with water and 
sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Bake in a 350F oven for about 45 
minutes, or until tops are browned and loaves sound hollow when 
tapped. Remove from baking sheets and let cool on wire racks.

Note: to make the bean or grain flours, grind dried beans or whole 
grains in an electric blender or food processor. Do not grind more 
than 1/4 C at a time

and take lots of breaks so your machine doesn't overheat. It will 
take quite some time to grind the flour. Sift the ground mixture 
though a fine sieve before use, or use a regular flour sifter if you 
want a coarser blend.

These various flours absorb moisture at different rates, so be sure 
to follow the directions about sifting them together before adding 
them to the yeast mixture. Pearl barley can be used to make the barley flour.

Ezekiel Bread (Ezek 4:9 NKJ Version) 1.5 lb (Bread Machine)

This bread recipe is for Ezekiel bread, which is the recipe God gave 
Ezekiel in Ezek 4.9 and told him to eat for 390 days. This recipe is 
made easier in that you can use cooked beans rather than grinding 
beans as a lot of other Ezekiel bread recipes are. However, a batter 
bread is probably closer to what Ezekiel actually ate. There are 
additions such as honey, salt, olive oil, and a
little gluten flour to help it out in the bread machine, but then the 
text doesn't mention the water that would be needed to make bread 
either. Since I am not good at making bread by hand, I've modified 
the recipe from the verse for the bread machine. I started with other 
recipes and modified them for the NKJ version. I used this version 
because it agrees with Strong's concordance, and others. The Old 
English in the KJV had fitches, which was translated various ways by 
some. say is spelt).

"And take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and 
spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself 
. . . This is the first time I have posted this recipe with the 
nutritional information (and the 2nd time altogether). 14.2% calories from fat.

Ezekiel Bread (Ezek 4:9 NKJ Version) 1.5 lb (Bread Machine)

Recipe By : Russell Fletcher <GIMPLIMP@EFFECTNET.COM>
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Bread Machine 30 % Cff Or Less

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 C water
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 C red kidney beans, cooked -- drained
1/4 C lentils, cooked -- drained
1 1/2 Tbsp honey
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 C bread flour
3/4 C barley flour
3/4 C millet flour
3/4 C spelt flour
3 Tbsp gluten flour
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

This bread had a surprisingly good taste, considering that a version 
of it (eaten as barley cakes) was eaten by Ezekiel for a fast for 390 days.

Put all ingredients into the bread pan in the order suggested by your 
bread machine. I use the White Bread setting, Large Loaf (#2 for 
Oster machine).

This is a bread based on Ezekiel 4:9, New King James Version. There 
are additions such as honey, salt, olive oil, and a little gluten 
flour to help it out in the bread machine, but then the text doesn't 
mention the water that would

be needed to make bread either. Since I am not good at making bread 
by hand, I've modified the recipe from the verse for the bread 
machine. I started with other recipes and modified them for the NKJ

Ezekiel Bread

2 tsp instant yeast
1 1/4 cups water, lukewarm
1 1/2 cups Ezekiel Mix
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp honey
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl or the pan of your 
bread machine and mix and knead them together -- by hand, mixer or 
bread machine -- adding more water or all-purpose flour as needed 
till you've made a smooth, elastic dough.

If using a bread machine: program the machine for Manual or Dough, 
then press Start; let the machine complete its cycle.

If mixing by hand or mixer: combine all ingredients then turn the 
dough into an oiled bowl, turning once to coat, then cover. Let it 
rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 8-1/2 x 
4-1/2-loaf pan. Cover it and let it rise again until doubled in size, 
about 1 hour.

Bake the loaf in a preheated 350F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until 
an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 190F. 
Immediately remove it from the pan and cool on a rack. Yield: one 1 
to 1-1/2 pound loaf.
