Step 1

Acquire ingredients as per recipe. Alternatively, if grains or beans are not available in powered form, you can use whole grains or beans, milled and sieved. Combine them in a high-powered food processor, blender, or grain mill.Blend or grind at high speed until fine enough to pass through the mesh of the flour sifter. Any whole grains or beans used must be ground and sieved.If not sieved, the bread mixture will not rise adequately during the raising process.If pumpkin seeds are being used, crack them and store them until needed.

Step 2

Stir the yeast in the warm water and honey mixture until it is dissolved. Let sit for 5 to 8 minutes to activate the dry yeast until a creamy foam is formed.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl or in a mixer, combine all the powdered grains and beans.Add the salt and mix thoroughly. Then add the dissolved yeast solution and continue mixing.

Step 4

Then add the olive oil and mix thoroughly. The mixture will be soft.

Step 5

The size of the loaf pans used in our recipe is 8 x 4 x 2.5 inches.Grease 2 loaf pans, divide the mixture into two and add to each of the loaf pans.

Step 6

Lightly spritz water over the mixture.Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm, enclosed place until the dough reaches just under the top of the loaf pan, which should be less than 1 hour.

Step 7

If using pumpkin or sesame seeds, lightly spritz water on top of the dough and sprinkle the seeds across.

Step 8

Center the shelf and preheat the oven to 375 °F. Bake the loaves for 30 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350 °F and continue baking for another 15 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the bottom is cooked (check by raising the dough with a spatula).

Step 9

Remove from the oven, then carefully remove the loaves from the pans and place them on a cooling rack.The loaves can be sliced and served with your favorite healthy filling.

Step 10

For longer storage, place them in moisture-proof bags or airtight containers and store in the refrigerator.For storage exceeding a week, put it in deep freeze but not exceeding 6 months.
