Ezekiel bread

[lizzie]

I was not familiar with this product, and a few days ago, I was visiting some friends for dinner at their house. They told me about this bread, which is kept in the freezer section at one of their local grocers, so I went by there on the way home, and bought some. It's very interesting, and I LOVE it. I want to know how to make it myself. It's pretty pricey, but I eat so little bread that I don't mind paying the extra, but I have a bread maker and the challenge might be fun.

I knew that young sprouted seeds were supposed to be excellent nutritionally, and I've done some sprouting myself, but this bread is supposedly made with sprouted seeds, and has no flour.
Anyone else here tried it? What did you think?

Religious bread huh? Never heard of it. :lol:

I don't hold any bread's religion against it. :lol:

 

[Beaudreaux]

Very interesting.

I've never heard of it, but after doing a little research, and finding out that it's available here locally, I'll get some for Yes Ma'am to try when she has to go back to the B.R.A.T. diet next week. From their web site, it looks like this bread has a lot of things in it that Yes Ma'am currently has to take as a supplement, and although we won't stop those, maybe a natural source will absorb into her system better than the supplements. Well, maybe. Worth a try.

Thank you for posting this.

They have several different varieties. I bought the "Seven Sprouted Grains", but they have a raisin bread, another whole grain bread, and a couple more that I am forgetting right at the moment. It does need to be kept in the fridge or freezer from what I was told, but it's great tasting imo, and I like the texture. It's a heavy bread, but it doesn't make me feel like I'm grazing from a cattle trough, the way that some grainy breads do. :lol:

Hey! This stuff looks pretty good!

I've more or less laid off bread for the past couple of years but this looks like something worth trying.

Well, I have no idea how good this recipe would be, but I found one to try

Hmmm, factory produced sliced bread? No thanks, I'll stick with fresh, handmade bread at my local bakeshop.

I agree. My mom gets that Ezekiel bread but I find it to be very dry. I'm more the fresh bread type like you.

I've never seen it here, but I'm a fan of good bread. I'll have to try it.

When I saw the thread title, I thought it might be about Amish Friendship Bread (under another name).

Ezekiel bread in it’s earliest form can be found in the Bible in the book of Ezekiel chapter 4, verse 9 which says: “Also take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them into one vessel and make bread of them.” In this verse the prophet Ezekiel is told by God to make bread in a certain way and then he lives on water and this bread for 390 days while he resides in the desert. How was this possible? Because this bread with scientific ability today to break down what is present in any food and give its nutrient value, this bread has almost as much protein found in eggs and milk and all 9 essential amino acids our body needs to function. You've all heard "Man can not live by bread alone" well according to the nutritional breakdown if the recipe came from G-d, yes you can.

I just like quality over quantity you know, fresh baked bread tastes way better than factory packaged bread.

Religions as a marketing ploy cracks me up a bit.

Ezekiel bread is made from the recipe found in the book of Ezekiel. It isn't religious marketing ploy, it is being descriptive. It also is sold to and marketed towards those who statistically speaking shun religion.

I do too, I use to work at a place that had their baguettes brought in twice a day for freshness. That was even too old as any pâtissier worth his salt knows that a baguette's shelf life is 2 hours max. This is cost prohibitive for many as you can surely understand.

The point was different breads -- like tools -- serve different needs.

The way I was raised in the church: God would take serious issue with using anything religious to market a product.

Might as well be laying taxes in the house of the Lord.

Ezekiel 4:9

Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side.



but I hear ya, years ago it use to get my dander up when I seen anything labeled "Zen", but now I laugh, and say "Of course!"

Fortunately, I don't care a bit about their religion, or the use of it to sell a product. I just like the product and would buy it if it were made by wiccans, heathens, druids, or people of any other religious persuasion.

YOu won't find anyone who likes wonderful quality bread more than I. This product, regardless of whether I make it myself, or it's made in a factory, is a great product imo.

I love that stuff but I cant hardly eat a whole loaf before it starts growing. I think next loaf I get I will plant a slice.

That's pretty much what I read somewhere, but so far, mine is holding up fine. I just ate a couple of pieces of it toasted with butter, and some honey Greek yogurt. I've been keeping it in the fridge (as opposed to the freezer), and so far, so good. I bought it 9 days ago, and I still have most of the loaf left, because I just don't eat that much bread, but I'm going to try baking a loaf as soon as I get all the ingredients that I will need.
