- Sprinkle instant yeast over the mixture and mix while gradually adding the remaining Ezekiel mix by the half-cup until the dough pulls away from the sides.
Kneading

Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the loaf for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
