Mohave Mesquite Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup finely ground and sifted mesquite meal
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 3/4 cup water

Directions

1. 1

   Combine dry ingredients.

2. 2

   Add oil and water and mix until dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl.

3. 3

   (Because mesquite beans and meal have a tendency to pick up any moisture from the atmosphere, the amount of water needed will vary with the weather).

4. 4

   Lightly grease a cookie sheet or flat pan.

5. 5

   Form the dough into a half-sphere loaf on the pan.

6. 6

   Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
