Servings: persons

1 cup canned garbanzo beans, undrained
5 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C)), divided
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 cup dried lentils
1/2 cup millet
2 tablespoons dried great northern beans
2 tablespoons dried mung beans
2 tablespoons dried adzuki beans
8 cups whole wheat flour
4 cups barley flour
1/4 cup rye flour
1 cup honey
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sea salt

1
Place garbanzo beans in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
2
Stir 1/2 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast dissolves. Let stand until yeast forms a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
3
Combine lentils, millet, great northern beans, mung beans, and adzuki beans in a high-powdered food processor or blender. Blend on high speed until fine enough to pass through the mesh of a sifter or strainer.
4
Pour lentil mixture into a large bowl. Mix in whole wheat flour, barley flour, and rye flour.
5
Place cooled garbanzo beans in a large bowl. Add honey, olive oil, and salt; mash together. Stir in remaining 4 3/4 cups water. Stir in yeast mixture. Whisk in 2 cups flour mixture. Stir in remaining flour mixture, 1 cup at a time, kneading well until dough is smooth.
6
Grease a large bowl and place dough inside. Cover with a very damp cloth. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
7
Deflate dough and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead gently and divide into 4 pieces. Form each piece into a loaf.
8
Grease four 9x5-inch loaf pans. Place loaves inside. Cover with a very damp cloth and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
9
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
10
Bake loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown and the bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 1 hour.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
