Stages of cooking
-
Grind black beans, lentils, kidney beans, and barley in a coffee grinder until fine.
-
Place warm milk, warm water, egg, oil, honey, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, millet flour, rye flour, cracked wheat, ground bean mixture, wheat germ, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.
-
Roll dough out onto a pastry cloth, then form into a loaf. Place loaf into a greased pan; cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until loaf is browned, 30 to 35 minutes more. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
