I bought Beckers Ezekiel bread mix but have no recipe. Joining your website isn't an option. Could I just have the recipe? Plz?
dear @Grains and Grit loved the ingredients , until you added yeast, personally i had to stop watching the rest as yeast , is a leven agent, which is more likely a nono in the bible, especially when you think of all the feast days that mentions bread altogethr, thankks for the 1st half though, was informative.
@@sideburnsoldiers3349 Yeast is not a "nono" in the Bible. It was symbolically withheld from the Passover bread, but nowhere does the Bible say not to eat yeast or leaven.
I use a tablet and your recipe doesn't show up. Please tell me how much salt you used. Thanks in advance.
, i probabl could have worded this better for that my apologies, i had no intention of causin any kind of discourse, that said leyt me try again, heh, the "no no" was intended for modern use, in ancient times, i found this " History. It is not known when yeast was first used to bake bread; the earliest definite records come from Ancient Egypt. Researchers speculate that a mixture of flour meal and water was left longer than usual on a warm day and the yeasts that occur in natural contaminants of the flour caused it to ferment before baking ...
"like passover, no time to let sit, also the entire week was to be unlevened, and is insinuated in the sept feat, to remove sin (again,insinuated) but for my comment is the how they came about usin yeast verses how its used today, again sorry for the total butchery on my part.i was speaking more to the original way it was done.thanks@@GrainsandGrit
I think the cow's dung was just the fuel for the fire on which the bread was cooked/baked (he burned it instead of wood). The pioneers on the plains used "buffalo chips" (well-dried buffalo dung) to fuel their cooking fires as there are few trees for wood fires on the plains of the Dakotas.
Yep!
Yes dung was used as fuel.
Yes it was just the fuel for the fire or heat to cook it!
Is not the dung still used as some in nomadic countries?
@leeannpruitt3752 yes, Iceland enparticularly
I come from Iraq I am Christian I remember in my young age I always ate bread from cow poop and mud mixed tanour we called they flat bread stickers around the tanour and the char wood 🪵 all in the bottom it was the best bread I ever ate and cow 🐄 poop was pleasant smell believe it or not because all what they eat is organic grass god bless
Had the experience of eating a flatbread(Roti) cooked over cow manure while visiting a village in India. They had been cooking that way for a few thousand years. No smell, manure was dried out. The dung was placed on in the bottom of a clay type oven, and roti cooked on top of clay oven. The oven design was also several thousand years old, so when relating to Ezekiel, I would doubt that it was gross. Human waste wouldn’t have burned quite as well as cow dung with the high straw content in the cattle dung.
That is by far one of the coolest experiences! I know that people have definitely learned how to do this without it being gross, just in our American 1st world mentality it probably would gross out many people!
What a neat experience! I know that during the civil war and The Great Depression, many people had to do what they had to do. Dry "cow cookies" were easily obtained and could be transported because they didn't weigh much in order to make fires on the run. The first fire starters. I honestly dontbthink its gross, 😝
@@woodsie5796 yes it was a once in a lifetime experience. Would love to go back better prepared. I was accompanying a friend on a business trip, I’d love to go in more of a mission oriented capacity
I'd love to have plans to make that clay oven!😃
Ppl have been using human waste to compost for millennia incl current day
The book Humanure delves into this completely with specific instructions too
Using it for cooking doesn’t seem to have been a thing in anything but small pockets of population, if that. I know for compost you have to wait 2 yrs to use it.
You inspire me so much! My 8 yr old grandson was visiting on baking day. We made Ezekiel bread and of course talked about the story behind it. He liked the bread and when he went home he told his mom that we made “God Bread” and told her how good it was. I HAD to share this story. It makes me smile and is the new name of our Ezekiel bread. 🥰
I LOVE this! What a special time and wonderful memory you have made with your grandson :-)
Thank you for sharing your story of your bread making with your grandson it warmed my heart ♥
@@patroot2536 ❤️
Adding to your reference that “we have the levitical law that God gave to the Israelites on what to eat and what not”, all of Christianity teaches exactly this - that the Eternal Unchangeable covenant law of the Eternal Unchangeable Almighty One has been done away with by Messiah and that it was originally just for Israel and nobody else.
For the benefit of those who have not been correctly taught, and who are unlikely to ever be taught the Truth by their teachers, I would like to paste Truth from scripture;
1. The covenant laws apply to ALL people for ALL time;
Num 15:15 -16
ONE law is for you of the assembly AND for the stranger who sojourns with you - a law FOREVER throughout your generations. As you are, so is the stranger before יהוה.
ONE Torah and ONE right-ruling is for you AND for the stranger who sojourns with you.’ ”
2. This covenant was made across all of time with all of mankind;
Deu 29:14-15
“And not with you alone I am making this covenant and this oath, but with him who stands here with us today before יהוה our Elohim, AS WELL AS WITH HIM WHO IS NOT HERE WITH US TODAY.
3. Neither the Creator nor Messiah can EVER change, nor can their Words or covenant;
Psa 89:34
“I shall not profane My covenant, Neither would I change what has gone out from My lips.
4. Messiah did not come to change anything, but to fulfill / complete the requirement of the death penalty required by the covenant, for the repeated breaking of the covenant through idolatry / spiritual harlotry.
Once that requirement was fulfilled, He was able to once again restore His beloved bride Yisrael in the SAME covenant with Him again - exactly what He did each time after Yisrael repented in exile.
Mat 5:17-20
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.
I did not come to destroy but to complete.
“For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.
“Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
“For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens.
5. Messiah is the One Who originally gave the covenant to Mosheh, Aharon and the 72 elders on the mountain where He ate and drank with them. Those very same commands we are to keep;
1Jn 2:3 -7
And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.
The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected in him.
By this we know that we are in Him.
The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.
Beloved, I write no fresh command to you, BUT AN OLD COMMAND WHICH YOU HAVE HAD FROM THE BEGINNING.
The old command is the Word which you heard from the beginning.
Because it is impossible for the Creator / Messiah to ever change, neither Messiah, nor His disciples or any of the prophets ever identified as Christians - they never observed or taught;
- weekly sabbath of Baal on the 1st day of the week,
- the sun worship / gregorian calender,
- days starting & ending at midnight,
- pagan feasts of Baal / sun worship e.g. easter, lent, Christmas, new year, birthdays or any other feast days than the seven feasts of the Creator.
- eating of any unclean foods not on the Creator’s list of edible foods.
Instead all of them consistently and diligently kept and taught the laws of the Creator established during the creation week -
- reckoning of days from sunset to sunset,
- weekly sabbath on the 7th day,
- calender of the Creator determined by moon cycles,
- Creator’s 7 feasts,
- they all ate from the Creator’s list of edible / clean foods ,
- they were circumcised on the 8th day after birth, etc etc.
Mal 3:6
“For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Ya‛aqoḇ, shall not come to an end.
Everybody was taught John 3:16, but few know the last verse of the same chapter;
Joh 3:36
“He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not OBEY the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.”
Belief without the evidence / works thereof, is worthless - unconditional obedience to those very same commands that Messiah gave to the elders of Yisrael on the mountain - the same commands that Messiah, His disciples and all the prophets lived and taught.
We are forbidden to add to or take away anything from scripture;
Deu 12:32
“All the words I am commanding you, guard to do it - do not add to it nor take away from it.
Rev 22:18-19
For I witness to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book:
If anyone adds to them, Elohim shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book,
and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Elohim shall take away his part from the Book of Life, and out of the set-apart city, which are written in this Book.
@@hurryslow1 excellent post / comment - my heart aches to share this truth with as many people as possible. I will copy and save this wonderful summary!
Just an FYI…the dung was used in lieu of wood, which was hard to come by. The hardened dung burned slow enough to cook the “cakes” in their pans over the heat source.
Yeah, still gives me the heebie geebies lol
This process of using code dung is still used today in India. It's an economical way for poor families to hear their homes and cook food.
Closer to home. The pioneers on the Oregon Trail often used buffalo dung for fuel for their fires as well.
Yes. And you can still use cow, horse dried dung as fuel.
So much this!! It wasn't cooked in dung, but by burning dried dung.
Ezekiel bread is the only bread I can eat. I love it and am grateful it is available for me.
Oh good! I also made a video about how to make it in a bread machine. Even easier!
Love this recipe! I made it with my sourdough starter. I cut the recipe in half because I only have two loaf pans. I purchased the Ezekiel grain mix from Sue Beckers company and milled the mix just like you showed in this video. I let the dough rise for about 4 hours, then put it in the refrigerator overnight to finish cold proofing. It came out beautiful and it's so delicious. Thank you!
YAY!!
Hey, how much sourdough starter did you add instead of yeast?
@@zoraidasandoval2845
It's been a little while ago, but I probably used 1 cup.
Very good! I think if Ezekiel had his pot of grains and beans soaking together, and if he hadn't ground them together, the lentils ferment and makes a vetch that when combined with starter makes the dough rise much more. Vetches were often used in antiquity, and I think historical researchers who have tried to make cakes of breads and found them to be very dense would have had a different bake if they had known about the use of vetch. Antique breads might not have been so dense as we think they were. We'll get to ask the people who used them some day! G-d bless, you and thank you for a great Bible lesson!
Wow, cool little anecdote. Thanks for sharing.
What is a vetch?
@@cindyg-r6q I think I meant chickling vetch; a leaven made by fermenting legumes such as the chickling chick pea for making sour dough bread, this is an ancient method used before modern yeasts and written about as a mention by Pliny the Elder.
If you're interested in the method there's a video on TH-cam titled 'Pliny the Elders Chickling Vetch Sour Dough Starter"
Be aware if you go down this rabbit hole looking for the ingredients you may find they are using pasture chick peas, or wild peas, and the wild pea is that food that man, Chris McCandless, tried to live on in Alaska and died in an abandoned school bus from the paralysis and poisoning of them that he wasn't aware of their toxins.
Replicate historical recipes carefully. They aren't attributed short lifespans for nought.
@@melkel2010 I been a bit down this rabbit hole, aflatoxins and all probably won’t go there again, thank you. I’ve tried to make several sourdough starters on my own with no luck, my aunt always gets me one from the Amish after I get back from any extended vacation ❤️
@@cindyg-r6q I've heard there's better results making starter using old flour. So if you're trying to use an artisan rye for an all purpose colony, like Turkey or Red Rye, and grinding/milling it yourself, try letting that flour sit open for a couple weeks, then cover and let it age unrefrigerated. I have a bad time because get pantry moths and so my flours have to be kept meticulously sealed. I do have some home ground aging before I realized I did it wrong, and that was a lot of work to get 1 lb of flour with a bullet processor and avoid heating the flour while milling it. I could have save myself just buying the flour and let it age covered for building a starter, but using the fresh grind for the bread itself. It's kind of expensive! G-d bless
Interesting story... My next-door neighbor bought their daughter a bosch mixer for Christmas one year, but it sat behind dad's recliner for a couple of years. Their daughter never even opened the box. One day we had gone over for our weekly early-evening chat and I took them some jam I had just made and some veggies from our garden. The Mrs. enters the house, comes out with this box, tells me to take it home, and tells us the story behind why. I haven't had the heart to tell her that I haven't used the mixer yet, partly because I have my old reliable Kitchen-aid mixer, but also because I don't know how to use such an expensive mixer as the Bosch. Now that I have watched your video a couple of times, plus another lady's video a few times, I think I may be confident enough to use this bosch mixer. The first thing I am going to do is make our neighbor a couple of loaves of freshly baked bread and some more lovely jam and or marmalade. Thank you so much for sharing your video with all of us and sharing what your husband told you about Ezekiel's vision. May God always Bless you with good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_11.10.2023
P.S. So then according to the Bible, this Ezekiel bread was actually a punishment for Israel disobeying God. After watching your video I read through the book of Ezekiel and it is pretty frightening. I have more to read, thank you for sparking my interest. Blessings to you always
And the prophecy was fulfilled in the holocaust when the Jews ate rationed bread and water in hitlers concentration camps nothing else. Even that they had to beg for at times.
Feel free to mail that bosch to me if you want to keep your KA (I had an older KA that was wonderful and got accidentally taken as part of a giveaway after we were hit by a tornado. It wasn't meant to be part of the giveaway but it was chaos at our house that I didn't even realize what had happened till it was too late). LOL
Consequently, Bosch has been on my radar for a long time now. We have a cuisinart mixer that is great for regular baking but I wouldn't dare use it for bread.
The Bosch gets rave reviews in my FB bread groups. That's an incredible gift your neighbor gave you.
Have you used your Bosch yet? They are so easy to use, I used mine for years. I actually used to use both a kitchen aid and a Bosch while raising my babies. They don’t get used much anymore.
Was the oven itself made with a dung clay mixture, or straw clay mixture?
Thank you. By the way cow manure is a very common clean burning fuel. When Dung is dried, it has no odor.
Thank you for clarifying this for us
I love your zeal for people and the Lord...good on you little sister!!
Thanks!
I appreciate the recipe AND the Bible lesson!! Also, thanks for being real and transparent by including your mistakes and solutions! Now, my wife and I must try this modern recipe, and see how we like it! Trading dung for oil and honey is definitely a move on the right direction! lol
lol I agree!!! Thanks for the comment :-)
Dung was used as a fuel not an ingredient.😮
I grind my grains too in a small stone mill. IF you roast your barley first ( in a cast iron skillet) the favor n scent is magnified!
What a blessing to truly learn the back story of Ezekiel bread. Thank you for sharing your husband’s interpretation of its Biblical background. It brought this bread story to life! Thank you! Blessings upon your household!
Ezekiel most likely would have used Broad/Fava beans, as all the beans you used are endemic to the Americas. You were correct that it most likely wasn't soybeans either as they are endemic to China, and actually block nutrient absorption unless they are fermented just right. Also, cowpies don't smell after they've dried enough to be used as fuel, which is why they've been used as such for thousands of years!
Unfortunately Soy beans are much cheaper to use commercially and I imagine this was a budgetary consideration not a biblical consideration.
I was hoping she would use ancient grains like einkorn, etc., not expecting red wheat for sure but still interested to see how it turns out🤗
Yes, I had that thought too. And lots of civilisations still use dried cow dung as a fuel. It doesn’t have a smell like fresh wet cow dung. And cows eat only vegetable matter.
Also, all those ancient grains and beans have correct amounts of carbohydrates and protein. It would have been quite different to American highly processed white bread with processed dried yeast and white sugar, plus preservatives 😅
It should be thought of as a complete food, not like white modern bread. ❤
@@rbrown6476 Yep, y'all are on the right track. There are people in India cooking with dried cow dung right now.
90% of the ingredients in this recipie were not available in that part of the world in biblical times
Thankyou for this, I sure have a new appreciation for Ezekiel. I can just imagine the crowns he will have.
Amen, so true.
🌾 🍞 Correction: Sue's recipe says to let the dough/batter rise to just ¼ FROM the TOP of the pan...not "beyond/over" the top of the pan. Do not let the dough rise past the top of the bread pans before baking them.
Ok that's a key preposition I clearly missed lol Thanks so much for clarifying for all of us! I have made this since this video and it has turned out perfect.
How do I get the recipe?
Why is unleavened bread Rising anywhere? I've never heard of using flour in eziekiel bread let alone it rising.
@@GrainsandGritnow that makes sense. ❤😊
I began eating Ezekiel bread back in 2005, was told it would be gentle on my system as I had been having digestive issues for many many years. I bought in one of our local health food stores, although now it’s sold in grocery stores. I began milling my flour a month ago and bought the same mill you have, the wonder mill. I was wondering if I can mill the beans in this thing and now I know I can. Thank you! As soon as I get all the ingredients, I’ll whip some up and make some bread.
That's awesome, you're on your way! So glad you discovered freshly milled whole grain flour.
Glad your mind was blown by the actual Bible verses; my mind too! Absolutely a wonderful, mind opening video. Thank you for being called to teach truth! Blessings 🥰
You are so welcome!
I am so happy I found your channel! Your personality is so engaging and I am learning so much.
So I have been making Sue's recipe since I was a kid. My parents bought all of our grain (among many other things) from Breadbeckers since they opened. I continue to purchase from her to this day. I do recommend 3 loaf pans and only baking for 30min max (depending on oven). It is very moist and holds well. Oh, do NOT rise 1/4" over pan... its 1/4" to the top...or it will spill over when baked because it continues to rise while baking.Lastly, everyone needs to know that since this is a live grain bread it WILL mold quickly. You will need to eat within 3-4 days. I usually freeze one or 2 as I use it for fasting (due to health I can't completely fast) and it is quite filling... plus as you stated 10oz isn't that much so it goes far if using it for that reason. That being said my family and neighbors request I make this all the time so you can always give and bless others. I enjoyed your video and will be watching more. Blessings.
Good for you!
Thank you Felicia! 🙂
It's 2 years later and many folks are really strapped with the inflation so crazy. This is a wonderful recipe for today.
Like you, I quit buying bread about 10 years ago and I have a Wonder Mill too. I do enjoy the hand kneading because, for me, it's a prayer/meditative exercise. Also my hands tell me when it's kneaded enough. With this recipe that may be a stretch and fold. ☺️
I'm anxious to try this recipe!
Blessings always! 💜
You are so welcome!
Girl, I think you’ve been listening in on me. I’ve had all the ingredients except barley. I got my barley from my Azure pick up 2 days ago. This was already on my schedule to make this weekend! Although now the whole thought of being Biblical in eating it is out the window. Tell your husband ,”THANKS”. 😂
Seriously, thanks for the video! Your timing is epic!!
I know right?!?! Way to ruin it!!!! Lol but it’s still a very delicious bread and still very healthy!!!!
I made some "barely bread" with barley. I expected it to be high enough in gluten to work but it didn't rise, crumbled, and was really dense. And created debilitating painful gas. I put tiny amounts of it in wheat recipes and when it's gone it's gone.
@@nate6692 half wheat flour is needed in yeast recipes or it won’t rise.
The gluten in other grains just isn’t enough.
Enough to cause celiacs trouble tho, as is barley and rye.
I use a 9x13 pan to bake mine and I cut into squares. I also add craisins, nuts etc, in order to make it a hearty meal replacement bar for on the go.
You're right! Totally mind blowing! I loved it! will try to make it. well, maybe one day. I've never made bread but am totally inspired! I am sure you mentioned where to buy these real grains. I think I may make it with my mom, she is going to be 89 years old in Feb. love your show! thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you ever so much for sharing the full story of both the bread AND Ezekiel's bible verse 4. My favorite verse from Ezekiel is chapter 33 which is usually titled "The Watchman" concerning our warning the wicked to cease their evil ways, repent, and search for God while he still can be found. Kind regards, Cynthia the Ashkenazi Christian
Thank you God unto all things. "Jesus saith unto him I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."Jon.14:6. Praise you Father God in Yeshua's name. Jon.3:16.
When using honey in place of sugar, you reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees which may lengthen bake time. Also, you should reduce liquid (about 2 teaspoons liquid on 1 cup honey) and also adding tiny amount of Baking Soda. There is a chart you can look for with all that info. Thank you for this recipe & teaching. God Bless!
I forgot to note that the honey was liquid those changes are made. You can find honey powder which will not change the liquid to fry measurements but still need to lower heat by 25 degrees!
THanks!!!!!
Where can I find chart?
I loved this video! I wonder what will happen if I didn’t use yeast! I loved the in depth Bible study. So cool.
Great video! And Matthew Henry is a fantastic commentary! He and Albert Barnes are the only two I use. Thanks so much! God bless
Adding oil (120 calories per tablespoon) and honey might make your bread more fattening. Whole frains have not been stripped of their germ, so should be fine without oil.
Lentils, chick peas and fava beans might have been native to the middle east at the time of Ezekial.
Dung would be dried before burned. Plains natives used bison dung to cook with and is described as nearly odorless, intense heat and little smoke.
Olive oil is a healthy fat to have in your diet. Not good to eliminate all healthy fats.
@@maryjurisons4648 I eat raw seeds and nut which are much healthier than any oil. Extra Virgin Olive Oil may be the best oil, but still stripped of most nutrients and 120 to 130 calories per tablespoon. That is one of the reasons my acquaintance that downs two shots of olive oil is obese. He should be eating more whole food before his fast.
Your baking and interest in Ezekiel bread is really commendable! I’m very proud of your husband for bringing out the context of the bread, which I researched myself not long ago. (I am a Bible student and teacher.) May I add a few interesting points?
The mixture of various grains and beans in one bread was considered unclean by Israelites due to requirements of the Mosaic Law. This may not resonate for people in Western lands today, but unclean things, such as the meat of pigs, was looked on as deplorable, some preferring to die rather than eat or do anything “unclean”. (See my response to the woman who asked about the Beggar’s Bag recently.) So, the meaning behind the bread itself was condemnatory. In effect, God was saying to an unfaithful nation ‘So, you like the practices of pagan nations, and shun my law? You will eat the fruitage of it.’ Secondly, Ezekiel’s warning message of coming discipline and punishment from God included a prophecy that famine would be severe. The ancient measurements in U.S. equivalency would be 8 oz of bread and 2 cups of water per day - starvation rations! And Ezekiel himself was so distressed at the dung, that God changed it from human to animal dung, tho keeping the cooking method viewed as unclean by the Jewish nation. These prophecies’ fulfillment would lead the nation to even greater depths of depravity. Ezekiel showed great endurance as he allowed God to use him to picture what lay in store for an unfaithful nation that God described as an adulterous wife.
Centuries later, Jesus foretold - when a man on earth, and later in very striking visions to the Apostle John, what would befall unfaithful ones of any religion by a God who insists on exclusive devotion and obedience. As a Christian myself, I take this due warning to heart since, though we no longer need to follow the Mosaic Law per se, we have to know that following God’s laws and principles is just as important now, and He feels the same about Christians, and will soon mete out justice to those falsely claiming to worship God. (Matthew 7:15-23) More than you asked for, I know, but worth serious contemplation. Thank you again for raising this subject. 😊
Thanks for those insights!
I very much enjoyed this! Thank you!
How interesting this video is. I learned so much and hope to see you again. I really don't know if I will make Ezekiel bread, but miracles never cease!
In India, even today, in the villages the food and bread is cooked over cow manure. Appreciate for this tutorial and Ty……
yep
My first time to watch you but I have subscribed and getting the notifications!!!! I am always in a quandary about what to do for the ladies in my Sunday School Class. Now I plan to practice making this bread and making small loaves for them. Thank you!!!
That's a WONDERFUL idea! God intended bread to be shared. Welcome to the channel. Be sure to download your free Newbie Guide: bit.ly/3XgUWrD
TY! The Ezekiel bread recipe is a keeper in my home. The taste is phenomenal compared to store bought items and we feel we are getting way better nutrients from this loaf. My only worry was grinding the beans but the Nutrimill took care of it like a boss. LOL I added apples and walnuts to some muffins and hubby loved those.
Are you cooking it using a manure fueled fire? You have to follow all steps, as published in the Bible, including the manure fueled fire.
@@gamewizard1760 Well, and technically, we don't even know for sure what kind of beans were used. So really, it's more like "Ezekiel inspired" bread.
I think when they sprout the beans it increases the protein in the sprouts. Also I have made with out barley & mullet instead I used black beans, oat flour, pinto beans & red kidney beans, with whole wheat, yeast and honey. I loved my bread, it does taste really good.
Ordered Ezekiel grains via Bread Beckers! Excited to try it out!
Note: You misspelled "Ezekiel" in the video thumbnail and title - not sure if that affects people searching on YT and successfully finding this video.
When pioneers crossed the plains, the were areas where there was no wood to be found for cooking and warming fires, so they collected dried cow manure and burned those to cook over. Dried core manure is an excellent fire source, Smokey, but burns really well. They put their pans over the little fires, so this all makes a lot more sense.
I love Ezekiel bread. Always buy it at the store. I will try making it now❤❤❤
You can do it!
When i saw Ezekiel bread for the first time at Costco years ago , i was kinda in shock, because i knew about Ezekiel bread and how it was made from the Bible first))))… by the way a lot of people around the world use manure for heating their stove and cooking on it.
The pioneers crossing the plains in their wagon trains collected buffalo dung to use as fuel in their cooking fires when no other fuel was available. People have always found ways to survive extreme hardships. If he didn’t have a pan to cook in, he probably used the other primitive technique of cooking on a flat rock next to the fire. Some people still use this method because it still works.

Hi God bless this recipe I'm from a different state my daughter lives in Florida I came here for about 3 months and this is what she made me for 3 months I never knew what this was but she talked about it a lot it helped my psoriasis disappear by eating the spread for the 3 months this is amazing to me so I am just letting you know giving you heads up if it wasn't for her I would have kept taking the psoriasis shots they gave me at the doctors office this is perfect and it does work God bless you
Oh wow, cool!
I would love to try this recipe at some point. Here is a little bit more of the history. Ezekial was acting out a contract, that's what all the prophets did. If you have a McClintock and Strong Cyclopedia of Biblical Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature and look up "contract/s) it will explain this. Also, the judgement that God was putting on them was for going after the heathen/pagan gods - Baal & Grove (Sun and Tree) worship (see Jeremiah 10:3, Deut. 4:2, 12:29-32, Lev. 18:30, Exo. 23:20-24, Prov. 30:5 and Isa 40:20). They were being disobedient and Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, Zachariah, etc. in Old Testament and then Jesus, Paul, Peter in the New Testament. Sadly, the world is still going after the same gods. Thank you for this video.
Good Lord, what an intro. Thanks for the recipe.
My Bible Study Class Is Studying Ezekiel right now, so I want to make Ezekiel bread. I have a grain mill, so I’ll am paying close attention to your instructions…thank you 🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
Are you going to take it to class and say you followed the WHOLE recipe!? 🤣🤣🤣
Just found your channel, I love the Word/Bread content. I will be making the Ezekiel bread as soon as I get all the ingredients. Thank you for posting the recipe.🙏🏽❤
Welcome aboard!
Interesting documentation. Atlas Obscura ran an article about bread for horses in the time before trains. Horses who had to transport people, goods, travel great distances each day and did have time to stop and munch quantity of grass were fed bread looking like hockey pucks or flat cakes weighing about 5 lbs each. Each horse needed about 20 lbs each day. The bread for horses in England was highly government regulated. Bread for people was not. The bread contained bran, beans, rough grains etc sounding like the biblical Ekezial bread being corse which was also the only bread available for people of poverty. People of wealth only wanted white bread so the bran discount was used for horses and poor people.
Interesting!
Very good using Matthew Henry’s commentary it’s probably one of the best
The "as barley cake" mention in Ezekiel is a rough type of outdoor survival cooking method used to make round, flat, unleavened ashcakes. Edible though not very appetizing. This was symbolic of the pending besiegement of Jerusalem during Ezekiel's days that would result in unbearable hardships and forced food shortages- a sign to ALL the house of Israel because if their unrepentant sins.
The ingredients are also symbolic of what the Lord would allow to happen in order to reconcile the people back to Him. Like wheat: they would be smitten (beaten out until the chaff [sin] is removed). Barley: Their rejoicing would cease because of their enemies raining down on them like the 7th plague of Egypt and because of their own hardened, unrepentant heart. Beans: Their victuals (food supplies) would diminish. Lentils: their victual (food supply) would be cut off. Millet: Their diet will be meagre. Finally, fitches (spelt) represents that which would come later following the seige - a wasting away. God would send among His fat ones leanness corroborating the earlier prophecy of Isaiah 10:16 and much earlier that of Moses in Deuteronomy 28:49-58.
Shalom!
Thanks for those insights!
@@GrainsandGrit You're very welcome. A delight to share. Blessings.
A hin of water is by definition 5.7 liters and in Ezekiel 4:11 it says he was to drink 1/6 of a hin or almost 1 liter per day not 1/2 cup or 1 cup but instead almost 1 liter. I just thought that might help clarify the water portion. 😊
All manner of people use dung camel etc. They collected the dried pats and used them instead of wood . it produces a hot CLEAN fire.
Still in use in many poor countries where there are few or no trees.

Good to know! We are just so far removed from that it’s hard to imagine!!
That is fascinating!
When I was small in the 70’s my parents Interviewed on a ranch in Nebraska where the house was heated with dry cow patties. It’s a VERY good heat source nothing weird or gross about it... it’s dried digested grasses. Very natural and good source.
I liked the fact that you showed the mistakes and how you will tweak it. I read the Bible along with you and was amazed. Thanks for sharing! God bless y’all ❤❤
It alway good when we listen to our husband’s righteous council!! Or in matters that we do not compromise Our CREATOR’S WORD!!!
Just another thought, Did you know that real Honey never spoils. Store bought honey is pasteurized (heated to 160 degrees) and mixed with other products like corn syrup. This is why the Honey in stores are not always the best Honey for you.
I'm a small beekeeper and when I get Honey from my hives and put in a jar it solidifies within a month, just put in a water bath to un-solidify it back into honey. This honey is best of allergies in your area if the bees are with 50 miles from where you live.
That's right! I only buy real honey, no additives.

Thank you for making the proper recipe, its hard trying to find it
Cakes may have been cooked on a flat rock -- there are numerous excellent YT vids of this process demonstrating indigenous tribal cultures' traditional cooking methods.
The fire would be built, a flat rock heating up during the active fire process, then the flatbread cakes were 'baked' on the hot rock with the coals under/around the rock. Amazing that Abba Yahweh's instructions contained the complete proteins/amino acids and adequate water to maintain Ezekiel's life!
Kudos to those commenting about the dung as wood, as well. A city under siege, surrounded by an army as occurred with Jerusalem's siege, would run out of wood, but the inhabitants would have had MUCH human waste to dry and then use for fuel. UGH! An ultimate consequence for pursuing their idols... I believe they would only have had human dung to use in those circumstances, inside city walls.
Ezekiel's prophetic obedience brings new light to Yeshua's statements in Mark 7:6-23. While many quote verse 19 to state that all foods are clean (an added statement which showed up only since 1920 editions), the actual Greek states that Yeshua/Jesus was talking about the 'purifying' process of human waste elimination in the context of verses 6-8 regarding traditions of man being practiced above the ways of Father Yahweh. Also, the word for "food" is actually the Greek word ACTOS (only translated as 'bread'). Yeshua was equating the traditions of man (pharisees) with human waste and this seems a probable direct reference to Ezekiel's prophetic act of cooking his bread over a dung fire.
All those present hearing the Son in His day would have understood this discussion, which is now erroneously used by modern Christianity to claim that God's laws have changed regarding the scriptures and commandments of Yah about sabbaths and unclean foods, etc. The verse 19 addition of the clause "thus purifying all foods" is exactly that-- an editorial addition that cannot be found in any translations prior to a 1920 alteration by dispensationalist editors with a false agenda.
I will be making your recipe for Ezekiel bread and appreciate your additional study of scriptures in this video! THANK YOU!
I don't know how your channel came up on my algorithm but I'm glad you did. I plan to watch your other videos.
I once tried to bring Ezekiel bread into my house. I got an impromptu bible lesson from my husband and the bread got binned.
Hahaha, that's funny. So glad you found me.
This takes Patty Cakes nursery rhyme to a whole new level 😂😮
Thank you! This was a very enjoyable video, and the best part is the word of God involved in the process!
We will be milling our own flours for this amazing food, and we will get back to you to share our results, and if you have an email, we can even send pictures with our own adjustments and results if you would like!
Yes! Good for you! You can reach me at admin@grainsandgrit.com
I have always heard that you need to soak and boil red kidney beans to remove the very toxic lectins. It's a little surprising that you grind them up and put them directly in bread dough.
Thats why it's supposed to be sprouted.
The word in Ezekiel 4 is "powl" which is specifically Fava beans. Archeological finds of ancient Israel are consistent with widespread use of Fava beans. IMO if there was an alternative bean for making bread in the area, it would be the garbanzo bean (chickpea). Fava bean bread would have more digestible protein, and fava beans would be the more likely animal feed.
The reference to a baking pan (makhabath) is found in Ezekiel 4:3, and the dung would be dried dung which is a fire fuel in many parts of the world. If an army was laying siege to a city for a prolonged period, the primary source of fuel would be dried animal dung from draft stock and live stock used to support the army.
Thank you for the powl/fave bean correction. Even the chickpea suggested. I bet that’s really good.
*Animal dung has been used for a very long time. Even the American pioneer’s used it along the Oregon Trail as fire fuel for cooking. Natural resources 👍🏻
Yes. The idea is you soak them so long that they sprout. You don't have to sprout them, but it helps if you're not going to cook the beans.
Just diagnosed as pre diabetic, I had heard of and eaten Ezekiel Bread before, but have never made it. I love baking our own bread, and already have a good supply of most of your ingredients. I just need to pick up barley. And avocados. New Subscriber now! You and Kneady Homesteader may be my favorites for bread and Bible. :)
Welcome! :-)
Ezekiel bread is made from sprouted grains. Not just flowers grains.
I really appreciate your deep dive into what the Bible actually says.
How about using it in French crepes
New watcher here. Fascinating. It's ironic that this started as beggars bread and what is sold in the stores is pricey. We are a gluten free household anyway but I love your bring foods in the Bible to the table.
2.5 C hard red wheat, 1.5 C spelt(rye sub), ½ C whole barley, ¼ C millet, ¼C Lentils(green), 2T EACH of: great northern, red kidney, pinto beans ; MILL IT ALL TOGETHER FOR MAKING YOUR FLOUR
2T yeast; 4C lukewarm water;½C oil 1C honey (measured together) add salt 2 tsp then add ALL flour (9C)
Thank you
I found this segment very interesting, especially what the Bible said about the bread. The loaves turned out lovely. Thank you.
I've made a barley loaf and it's very very tasty, kind of nutty and sweet. I'm sure the barley contributes much to the taste of this bread. I'm now motivated to make it, as I've always wondered about how it might be.
could you share how you make barley loaf?
Hello @Grains & Grit, I am researching for the purchase of a grain mill & and Ezekiel Bread recipe! Im glad to see your video! I’m new to your channel & a happy new subscriber! Thanks for sharing! 😊💛
Welcome! Here's a video I made to help people pick the right grain mill: th-cam.com/video/oM6k-htoP88/w-d-xo.html
I eat a lot of Ezekiel bread from the store..it’s the best I can do compared to hundreds of other brands of PURE JUNK breads commercially available.
I also grow and consume my own sprouts. I really, really think sprouts are superior in nutrition, which is why I prefer sprouted bread when I can get it.
I would prioritize freshly milled, whole-grain bread over sprouted.
@@GrainsandGrit
Why’s that?
Sprouted is easier to digest
That does look so good! How can you make it gluten free? I have severe gluten and dairy allergies. I saw that it didn't have dairy in it. But red wheat and barley. I can't have any wheat, barley or rye. I have epwi pens for this. And have to wear gloves to handle any of my husband's bread and so on. Thanks!
Oh...I have to have certified gluten free. If the grains used are grown next to a wheat field then all the other grains would be contaminated. 😢
not only recipes, the Lord speaks in the life of every person
Thanks for all the info about bread 🍞 and true history of the profit. ❤️🙏
with respect, in my (studied) opinion, Ezekiel didn't put the bread in the dung. The dung was used for cooking fuel. It still is used as cooking fuel in many places today. (for what it's worth).
Right. But it's not clear if that meant cooking the cakes directly on that fuel or setting a grill or something over top of it.
Most likely large, hand size, flat or lightly curved rocks were used, that were heated in the fire...
Just discovered your channel, you are a great inspiration, I have been wanting to make this bible bread for years, thanks for the demo and info
If you sprout the grains, it releases the gluten and they no longer contain the harmful gluten. Unfortunately, Food For Life makes their Ezekiel 4:9 bread with added gluten. Loved this video. I subscribed.
Please let's not call it "harmful gluten." It's ONLY harmful to those who are allergic to it. It is the staff of life for people all over the world and has been from the beginning. I suspect our genetically modified wheat and industrial cooking methods have created a lot of this. But that's an entire blog post which I'm not going to do here in a reply.
It would be like me saying "harmful cranberries" because my daughter gets anaphylactic shock if she ingests them in any form. Just to her.
Food For Life added the additional gluten mid 2000s. Sadly. Otherwise it could be eaten but those with wheat sensitivity.
@LloydsofRochester I have been more concerned about pesticides than gluten, but doesn't sprouting release more nutrients? That would be my reason for sprouting.
Interesting comments here regarding both gluten and pesticides. I cannot eat gluten. I have been working very hard for over 2 years to develop my own recipe for an Organic KETO gluten free sourdough bread that tastes like bread. While there are multiple recipes found everywhere, not one has worked for me. Believe me, I have tried every one. I find a new one at least monthly now and I try it. Always a failure.
I agree that we must eliminate both pesticides and return to healthy farming practices. Can we return the earth in our lifetime to God’s purity? No.
So, the best we can do is purchase as recommended here. I appreciate her information and resources.
Let’s all try to do better. ❤️
Ezekiel would not have used Great Northern Beans, Kidney Beans, or Pinto Beans, because these came from the Americas. He would have used peas, cowpeas, favas or lentils. At least you didn't use corn (maize) which I've seen in some recipes for Ezekiel Bread.
We're just approximating.
2 weeks ago, I ground up some Ezekiel flour to make apple cinnamon muffins (Sue Becker's recipe, I think), and it was delicious. I am now hunting for recipes for cookies using this flour.
ooo I love apple muffins and that sound delicious! Sue Becker's muffin recipe is what I use, and I have made apple cinnamon before and it was very good. I need to try it with Ezekial flour next!
I do have a chocolate chip cookie recipe video posted using freshly milled wheat. Try swapping it out for Ezekial flour and let me know how it goes!
@@GrainsandGrit lol, if you only knew how I don't love experienting with my grains! Lol. However, it's a new day, and I COULD try to be brave...lol
@@gracef244 DO IT. DO IT!!! lol Hey, I have come up with some wonderful recipes by accident.
@@GrainsandGrit thanks for the encouragement. Tomorrow morning I should get back to milling and baking: Ezekiel flour chocolate chip cookies... I'm so nervous 🙄🙄🙄 I may actually try YOUR bread recipe as well. We're out of bread - but maybe half the recipe. I only need 2, 1lb loaves
@@gracef244 you can do it!!! And you can easily divide my recipe in half :-) I am intrigued about Ezekial flour with cookies, so let me know how that goes!
Thank you i love that you read about the Ezekiel bread i followed with my bible ,
And your baking is beautiful 😋
Thank-you!
This was a methaphor for defiance. The people were constantly disobedient but God would still provide mercy in their captivity.
Super fascinating! Loved watching this episode. Thank you and thank your husband so much. Lots of love from South Africa
Jesus is the Bread of Life and He is the Living Water
Amen!!
Lol how do you even think that
It's healthy, tastes good, satisfying... I'll keep eating it as my preferred bread
The recipe is almost identical to the recipe in Carol Levergood's book, God's Recipe, which I believe is the original recipe. (Other than Ezekiel's, which is the real original) One difference is that only half the flour was to be used at a time and the bread was baked in an 11 X 15 inch pan as a flat bread. I used to make this bread pretty often. There are instructions in the book to use it for fasting. Also, as Carol explains in her book, the ingredients and amounts were given to her by the Lord. It's a complete protein, with the grains and the beans, and very nutritious. Unfortunately, the book is no longer available.
@MaryKat Haight Amazon says it hasn't any available copies of Levergood's book, but I put it on my "Wish List" anyway in the event one becomes available. Ebay also hasn't any copies, but you can always check from time to time to see if the book becomes available. It would be nice if one of the few Christian publishing houses contacted Levergood's heirs (if necessary) to get permission to re-publish the book. Thank you for the information regarding the recipe as well.
Yes! She first published it in 1981. I still have my very worn copy and have made this numerous times since. She recommended a very different kind of pan and cut into 1/2 pound portions.
But I've experimented making like pancakes/flatbread type and with sourdough starter. Both work great.
I was researching on Google. Thanks for your recipe from the Bible. Have a great day!
You are so welcome!
Wow! I was going to ask you to do a video on this. Thanks
Perfect timing!!!
I’m really enjoying your series on all the different grains. Thank you. 🥰👍
You are so welcome!
I am so glad you did the teaching on Ezekial .I'm not going to make this right away but in case of catastrophe it is good to know.Again thanks.
In the desert Cow/Camel dung when dried is used as fuel for the fire. Hence you use the cow dung as fuel for your fire to cook the bread on.
yep
On the high plains we used cow dung instead of wood for heat and cooking fuel during the 1800’s !! Or buffalo dung!! You use the dried animal dung and burn it as fuel! Hope this helps you. It can still be used on the Llano Esticado where I live for fuel and campfires because there is nothing else for fuel like wood. Just grass. It doesn’t smell when dried because it is just grass and water! Google it if you want to really know! That’s all.
Thank you so much for your amazing information. Thank you for empowering us.
You are so welcome, thanks for watching :-)
I love your channel and all your information. I do have one question , can this recipe be used without honey? I spent some time in India studying Ayurvedic medicine and they teach that honey should not be cooked, and I was wondering what your thoughts were on this and if you have any more information about it . Thankyou
Wow thanks for this great recipe. I watched a bean flour recipe where they soaked the bean slurry overnight and changed the water, I think it was, maybe longer, to get rid of the sourness. This doesn’t seem to need that.
Cooking over dung is not that uncommon. It's part of the American frontier experience for one thing. Think of the pioneers collecting buffalo 'chips' (dung) to burn for warmth and to cook over as they crossed and settled on the prairies. No wood just huge amounts of dessicated dung.
I imagine it would make sense in Bible times not to fell your limited stock of timber for fuel, but reserve it for other purposes, not least construction.
The bread would have been, as you suggest, a type of griddle cake, like a johnny cake or bannock. Here in Pembrokeshire its called plank bread, and is cooked on an iron disc called a 'plank'. For many thousands of years this type of bread was cooked on a large flat stone, set into the hearth.
The stone would get very hot from the fire and provide a cooking surface.
Incidentally, it was almost certainly griddle cakes that King Alfred the Great is meant to have famously burned while planning his fightback against the Vikings.
I love that story about Alfred the Great
Just found you .I have been making bread for years I just bought a flour mill thanks to you

Thank you for sharing the recipe. I think the bread was unleavened, for Ezekiel. Thank you for sharing the Biblical account also. New friend.
In the USA as the people traveled west in wagon trains, there was a shortage of trees and fuel along the Oregon and Mormon trails. Buffalo "chips" or dung were used for their campfires to cook with. The early homesteaders that settled in the plain state also used cow "patties" or dung for fires. When dry the buffalo or cow dung burns like peat or charcoal, not a lot of flame, but slow and steady heat. so I would expect that the Ezekial bread was "baked" over a fire of cow dung, not in dung. This type of fire is mostly smoke less and does not stink. The thing to remember is cows and buffalo eat grass and when very dry the dung is usually like ground up grass, as the smell or gasy part leaves as the dung drys.
Ah very cool history lesson, thank you! I never knew that :-)
I watch your channel because you give great info, are honest about the process and it is great for new bakers to see how to learn by practice and tweaking recipes to fit. I am having so much fun experimenting with so many different recipes and making them my own. thanks for sharing!
