Title: Mohave Mesquite Bread
Categories: Amerind Bread
Yield: 1 Recipe

1	c	Finely ground and sifted
		Mesquite meal
1	c	Whole wheat flour
1	ts	Baking powder
1	ts	Baking soda
2	tb	Oil
3/4	c	Water

Combine dry ingredients. Add oil and water and mix until dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl. (Because mesquite beans and meal have a tendency to ppick up any moisture from the atmosphere, the amount of water needed will vary with the weather). Lightly grease a cookie sheet or flat pan. Form the dough into a half-sphere loaf on the pan. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
