4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 cup honey
½ cup olive oil
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
2 ½ cups wheat berries
1 ½ cups spelt flour
½ cup barley
½ cup millet
¼ cup dry green lentils
2 tablespoons dry great Northern beans
2 tablespoons dry kidney beans
2 tablespoons dried pinto beans
2 tablespoons salt, or to taste
Mix water, honey, olive oil, and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together wheat berries, spelt flour, barley, millet, lentils, great northern beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans together until well mixed. Grind in a flour mill.
Add fresh milled flour mixture and salt to yeast mixture; stir until well mixed, about 10 minutes. The dough will be loose.
Pour dough into two greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.
Let rise in a warm place until dough has reached the top of the pan, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until loaves are golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
