Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and applesauce. Stir well to incorporate the applesauce fully into the water.
Add the whole wheat flour, barley flour, millet flour, spelt flour, green lentil flour, soy flour, rye flour, yeast, salt, and cinnamon into the wet mixture.
Mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or a sturdy spatula until a dough begins to form.
Add the raisins and continue mixing until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into the prepared loaf pan, covering it loosely with a clean kitchen towel.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your homemade low-fat Ezekiel raisin bread as a delightful and healthy option for breakfast or snacking.
