I find it time saving to lay out all my ingredients first. Then I'm not delayed looking for something in the middle of putting the recipe together.

The following recipe is an adaptation of one given to us by a friend:

Sprouted Grain Bread

Soak 4 cups of wheat berries and 1 cup of Kamut or similar whole grain for 3 days, changing the water each day. Then drain, cover, and let it sprout for 4 hours.

Gather the following dry ingredients together and mix well:

2 T yeast1/4 c flax, ground2 t sea salt1/4 c raw sugar5 T gluten flour1/2 c rolled oats1/2 c sunflower seeds chopped fine1/2 c cracked wheat1/4 c sesame seeds, ground or whole1/8 c poppy seeds, ground or whole

Grind soaked grains in a meat grinder, using the smallest hole. Add the dough to the dry mixture and knead for 10 minutes. Place in an oiled boil and let rise until double in a warm area.

Then cut into 3 portions, shape into loaves, and placed in oiled bread pans. Let rise until almost double. Bake 40 minutes at 375 degrees.
