Four-grain Wheatless Bread

Apart from our union with Christ every effort to imitate Christ, no matter how noble and inspired at the outset, inevitably leads to legalism and spiritual defeat. But once you understand the doctrine of union with Christ, you see that God doesn’t ask us to attain to what we’re not. He only calls us to accomplish what already is. The pursuit of holiness is not a quixotic effort to do just what Jesus did. It’s the fight to live out the life that has already been made alive in Christ.

INGREDIENTS

2		Yeast
1/4	c	Lukewarm water
1/4	t	Sugar
1/8	t	Groung ginger
1	c	Lukewarm water
1/4	c	Molasses
2	T	Butter, melted
2	t	Salt
2	c	Rye flour
1/4	c	Buckwheat
1/4	c	Soy flour
1/2	c	Oat flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Proof the yeast in the 1/4 cup water, sugar and ginger. Mixture  should
be bubbly after 5 to 15 minutes.  In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup
water, molasses, butter, and salt.  Add the proofed yeast and mix well.
In another bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the rye flour, and the
remaining flours. Add the flours to the yeast mixture, and mix 100
strokes. Be sure to get all the flour from the bottom of the bowl
mixed into the dough. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup rye flour,
stirring well.  Spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray and place the
dough in the pan,  spreading with a knife to meet the corners and
smooth the top. Place  the loaf pan in a larger pan that has about 1
inch of hot water in  it. Cover the pan with foil and place the pans in
a 350 F oven.  Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and the pan of
water. Bake  an additional 45 minutes. This loaf will not sound hollow
when you  tap it, but will have a rich brown crust. Remove from the pan
and  place on a rack to cool. Slice thin to serve. Store in the
refridgerator.  Author's Note: We asked Joyce Weingartner, who helped
us test many  recipes, to create a wheatless bread for us. She
delighted us with  this, a batter bread that has a rich nutty flavor,
great in  sandwiches or all by itself. For those who are allergic to
wheat,  this bread is a suitable substitute, as buckwheat is not in the
wheat  family. This loaf will not rise as high as most kneaded wheat
breads,  because there is far less gluten in these flours.  Source:"The
