This Ezekiel bread more closely resembles the biblical bread because it uses balanced proportions of the six main ingredients. The directions are detailed to ensure good results because the method varies from traditional bread making. This loaf as a whole will weight about 1 2/3 lbs baked, using mostly organic ingredients at best available prices local to me costs about $2.00 in ingredients (the first 7 may be purchased either whole or as flour). The amino acids are balanced well in this bread, making it a complete protein (comparable to quinoa).
