Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Soak the wheat berries, spelt berries, barley grains, millet grains, lentils, kamut grains, and rye berries in a large bowl with water for at least 6-8 hours or overnight to soften them.

Step 2

Step 2: Drain the soaked grains and lentils in a colander, allowing them to air-dry for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3: In a food processor or high-power blender, combine the soaked and drained grains and lentils, and process until they form a thick, coarse dough.

Step 4

Step 4: In a separate bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.

Step 6

Step 6: Gradually add the processed grain dough into the yeast mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Step 7

Step 7: Stir in cinnamon and raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Step 8: Transfer the dough to a large, greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 9

Step 9: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Step 10: Once the dough has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Step 11: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
