Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix water, honey, olive oil, and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

While yeast mixture sits, stir together wheat berries, spelt flour, barley, millet, lentils, great northern beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans together until well mixed. Grind in a flour mill.
