Bread Machine Ezekiel Bread

Drescription

Follow this recipe to make dough for Ezekiel bread in the bread machine, then bake the loaf in the oven. In Ezekiel 4:9 in the Bible, there is a description of bread that Ezekiel was to live on for 390 days. This is my version, made with millet, rye, wheat germ, lentils, and barley.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon dry black beans
1 tablespoon dry lentils
1 tablespoon dry kidney beans
1 tablespoon barley
½ cup warm milk
½ cup warm water
1 large egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup millet flour
¼ cup rye flour
¼ cup cracked wheat
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Directions

Grind black beans, lentils, kidney beans, and barley in a coffee grinder until fine.
Place warm milk, warm water, egg, oil, honey, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, millet flour, rye flour, cracked wheat, ground bean mixture, wheat germ, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.
Roll dough out onto a pastry cloth, then form into a loaf. Place loaf into a greased pan; cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until loaf is browned, 30 to 35 minutes more. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.

Quick Shrimp Puttanesca

Because refrigerated fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried pasta, this Italian-inspired pasta dish will be on the table lickety-split! Puttanesca—traditionally made with tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies and garlic—gets shrimp for extra protein and artichoke hearts to boost the vegetable servings (and the fiber!). If you can't find frozen artichoke hearts, sub in drained canned artichoke hearts.

Slow Cooker Tuna Steaks with Escarole Chickpea Salad

This fish salad is a unique twist on traditional slow-cooker fare. The slow-cooker tuna steaks carry the bright lemon and rosemary flavors well, which result in an aromatic and fresh fish that perfectly complements the lettuce and chickpeas. Chill it for an easy work lunch the next day. Garnish with fresh rosemary leaves, if desired.
