Method
- Whisk together the whole wheat, spelt, barley, millet, lentil, and chickpea flours in a large bowl, then stir in the sea salt until evenly distributed.
- Combine warm water and honey in a separate small bowl. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, then stir in the olive oil.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the dry grain blend and stir with a sturdy spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 5-7 minutes until the dough is tacky but no longer sticks to your fingers.
- Place the dough in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it has increased in size by about 50%.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is deep mahogany brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Notes
This bread is delicious served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping or as a base for sandwiches.
