Ezekial Bread Anyone?

[Inkedmama98]

I just bought this bread for the first time a few days ago...I am not really sure I like it that much, it is good toasted but I tried to make a sandwich and it was not good at all...I think maybe its because Im used to lighter breads. I did buy the tortillas as well, haven't tried those yet Im kinda scared, but I will let ya know

Stop and shop has it in their freezer section - usually in the organics isle. There are several brands - closing in around 4 bucks per loaf. I keep some in my cabinet for use during the week, the rest in the fridge or freezer. It doesn't keep well outside of the cold.

The Cinn/Raisin loaf is really nice and is great for breakfast or even a pb sandwich.

Smiths has it, too. I keep it in the freezer and use it occasionally since I don't eat much bread, I also like it toasted.

I found this on a blog called cook.eat.think last summer. I have neither a food processor or a bread machine, so I used my blender and my oven. What the article doesn't cover as well is that you can go Whole Foods (I've even seen this in the organic section of Kroger by Red Mill by the package) and buy bulk grains. You can mix and match whatever you like (barley, rye, millet, ect) Take them home rinse them and keep them wet and dark( tupperware in the cabinent) Rinse them once or twice a day until they sprout and grow. I will say that even though Ezekial bread is over $5 sometimes at my Krogers, it goes a long way because it's so filling, I eat one slice where I'd normally have two.
1 cup sprouted grains (I used a mix which included organic wheat, rye, barley, triticale, oats, spelt, kamut, quinoa, sesame, millet and amaranth)
about 1 c milk (see note in directions*)
1/2 c + 3 Tbsp water (tweaked)
3 c whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp organic brown sugar (can also use honey, agave, etc.)
2 Tbsp softened butter
1 Tbsp softened coconut oil (you could also just use more butter)
2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp yeast
>>optional...2Tbsp vital wheat gluten


directions::
Blend sprouted grains in a food processor until they are a course meal. Measure 1 cup of the ground grains into a large cup measure. Leaving the grains in the cup, pour fresh room temp milk over the grains to the 1 cup mark* (This compensates for liquid present in fresh sprouted grains). Place this mix into the bread machine pan. Measure the 1/2 cup + 3 Tbsp room temp water and add that into the bread machine also. Add the rest of the ingredients into the machine pan in the order your bread machine recommends. Select the wheat cycle and light crust.

I like the Ezekiel bread myself. I haven't seen the tortillas local yet, but the "bread" is almost $5.00 a loaf but I'm the only one eating it and it lasts a good while. I read somewhere on line where it is actually considered a "vegetable" and not a bread. It's really good lightly toasted too. Btw...I don't really care for wheat bread very much and though the Ezekiel bread is a darker bread, it doesn't taste like wheat to me. Thankfully.. lol

I'd be interested in trying this. Right now we buy Rudi's Organic Whole Wheat Bread. I love the dense, filling whole wheat breads, hopefully this ezekial is similar in texture. Is it pretty low in calories, do you know?

Ezekiel is dense. Trader Joe's also sells their own brand that is Ezekiel-like. I currently only buy sprouted grain breads. The calories are around 70-80/slice.
