I’ve been working on Yeasted Sprout Bread with no flour for the past couple of months. I’ve learned a lot from the process, particularly what not to do, so I’m sharing my initial results in this post. I solved the mystery in my second attempt so be sure to check out the final results here.
I decided to undertake this project due to inquiries from a couple of Twitter friends (TanyaTheViolist and HealthyDietFood). I had mentioned on Twitter that I was making my favorite sprouted wheat bread and someone asked me for the recipe. However, she was looking for a sprouted wheat bread made with no flour and my favorite version includes additional flour (whole wheat and bread flour). I’ve been wanting to experiment more with sprouted wheat grains so I decided to see what I could dig up in my recipe books.
Sprouted grains and sprouted wheat flour are said to be more nutritious and can sometimes be tolerated by people that cannot otherwise tolerate wheat. You’ll have to decide whether this makes sense for you nutritionally or whether it appeals to your taste buds.
Yay! Thanks so much for trying this. Now I’m going to have to try it, as soon as I can get my hands on some wheat berries 🙂
Tanya, stay tuned for my next post. It gets better. I know where you can get grains with lost-cost shipping if you’re intersted. I’ll be including that with the next post.
I was following the pictures, hoping for a good ending…
Ah! But there is a good ending. I just haven’t posted it yet. Stay tuned…
Hi.
I didn’t see where in the recipe you added the honey, salt and yeast. Was it right when you started kneading the processed wheat berries? And, now, 26 months later, have you had any other successes with sprouted breads?
Hi Yogi, Thanks for visiting my blog. You would add the honey, salt and yeast as you’re mixing the dough. I didn’t outline all of the steps in this post because it turned out like a brick. Please refer to Take Two for the detailed instructions. I had success that time. http://breadmakingblog.breadexperience.com/2010/05/sprouted-wheat-bread-with-no-flour-take_22.html. I haven’t tried the sprouted wheat bread with no flour in a while but I have made other sprouted breads. You can view them here https://www.breadexperience.com/sprouted-bread.html
