  1. This recipe does not work as written. It does not specify what liquid to use, how much, or when to incorporate it. It also does not indicate when to add the millet. We added the cooked millet to the dry ingredients.<br/><br/>We used 1 cup of warm water and a lightly beaten egg for liquid and added it after mixing the millet into the dry ingredients. I recommend doubling the amount of red pepper flakes, as they are barely discernible at the specified amount.<br/><br/>The bread is VERY dense and very heavy, but tasty.
