Just wondering, with all the healthy food talk, does anyone eat Ezekiel bread or make spelt bread?

I thought of something about the bread recipe, if I don't have any apple juice I just use the same amount of water as it calls for apple juice. Pam |

This sounds like a winner. I eat the Ezekial bread but it will be nice to try this too. |

Hi, this is Leezard's mom and here is the Spelt bread recipe we use
2 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup apple juice
2 pkgs of quick rise yeast
2 teaspoons of sea salt
1/4 cup of vegatable oil
8-9 cups of spelt flour
2-4 tablespoons of honey (optional)
Combine the water, apple juice, honey and yeast in a large bowl, let set about 10 minutes or until foamy. Add 4 cups of flour and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 7-10 minutes. (while beating the gluten should form long strands in the dough and then the dough should start climbing up the beaters, sometimes it doesn't for me but the bread turns out ok) Remove the beaters and mix the rest by hand. Mix in the oil and salt, and 1-2 cups of flour, until the dough reaches a consistency you can handle, put the dough on a floured surface with a cup of the remaining flour. Knead about 10 minutes adding flour as needed, let the dough absorb enough flour to make it firm and elastic. put the dough in a large oiled bowl and turn it over once so the top gets oiled too. cover bowl and let rise in a warm place, free of drafts, until doubled in size, about 30-60 minutes. Punch down the dough and shape into three loaves. put each loaf into an 8x4 inch loaf pan. Set aside to rise again until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Immediatley run a knife around the edges of pan and remove loaves from pans, cool on racks.
I have used half whole spelt flour and half white spelt flour and it turns out good.
I use spelt in most of my recipes in place of regular unbleached flour with good results.
Hope this helps you out.

Yep I have a wheat grinder that can grind the beans too. I haven't purchased flour in over 2 years I just grind my own.

UrbanChick-Do you grind the beans and grain yourself?
I haven't tried waffles with spelt flour (I don't like pancakes) but I have made oatmeal cookies and scones. So gooooood! And I am not a sweet eater.

I make and eat the Bread Beckers recipe for Ezekiel Bread. I like using the Ezekeil Bread flour to make waffles and pancakes.

Rebekka,
Would you share your recipe for spelt bread? Does it come out dense?
I haven't seen the English muffins anywhere. I'll have to ask at the stores.

At our co-op they have Ezekiel english muffins in raisin cinnamon-mmmmm.
As far as spelt bread goes- it is a favorite to make because it only rises once in the pan and then you pop it into the oven- it is fast and SOOOO good. It is expensive to make- I think at least $3 a loaf unless you buy the flour in 50 lb bags;)
Warmly, Rebekka

Alee-If you like whole grain breads, you'll really like this bread. It is a firm bread which makes great toast. Just remember, it is a protein so it will fill you up faster. In the summer, I had a tomato slice along with a slice of raw cheddar cheese on buttered bread. I toasted it just enough to make the cheese melt. Yum-o
jpbluesky-I never heard of New Leaf Organic Market before. Is it a chain store?
A new Dierbergs was built this past summer just 20 minutes from me. They carry all the Ezekiel products along with my raw sugar and raw cheddar cheese. Has anyone tried the new hot dogs with no preservatives, nitrates? They are very good.

I love Ezekiel bread too, Lynn. There is a company named 'Food for Life' that makes a cereal called 'Ezekiel 4:9' - I've had a plain version and a cinnamon raison version. I'm not a raison fan, so the plain one is my absolute favorite cereal.
I'm not a cereal person, I don't like milk, but a friend tried the plain cereal and didn't like it so she gave it to me. I made a delicious granola out of it. It was Yum-o.

I have used Ezekial bread now for years. I like the sesame bread but one of my favorites is the cinnamon raisin. I haven't tried the bagels. I looked at them but thought they might be just too much. But I will try them. I also haven't tried the buns but think I will. Ezekial bread is soooo much better for the system than regular bread.
May God bless those who love the soil,
Patsy

Wow! I can't believe how many of you knew what I was talking about. My homeopathic doctor put me on it almost two years ago because it is a protein not a starch. I have a muscle weakness condition because my body can't store B12 which comes from proteins.
Leezard: Would you share your recipe for spelt bread?
I don't care for the bagels but I do love the regular bread (a fresh farm egg on buttered/grilled bread, yummy), cinnamon/raisin (for breakfast with wheat germ, cinnamon, and bee pollen), and the buns. The buns make a sandwich a meal! I also love to grill the bread/bun with a little butter, garlic powder, and melt raw cheese, or leave the cheese off for garlic bread that goes good with spaghetti.
I'm getting hungry; I haven't had breakfast yet.

I haven't tried Ezekiel bread but I make spelt bread. I like it, can't really tell the difference between that and wheat bread taste-wise.

I also love Ezekiel Bread and all the other products they have. I buy mine at the health food stores. Any sandiwch taste better on that bread and it's healthy to boot.

My daughter introduced me to Ezekiel bread. It is very good and that is saying something because I am not a bread eater. I'll have to find the bagels. Robin the amazing ACTMM sandwich sounds yummy. MB

I love Ezekiel bread, which I buy at our local natural foods store. I also enjoy Ezekiel bagels, which make AMAZING sandwiches. My favorite is Avocaod/Cheese/tomato/mayo/mustard. As you can imagine, it's very filling.
Best,
