Great Question! Depending on the recipe you are using you really could use sprouted/dehydrated wheat for the entire recipe. You would need a traditional recipe for this, or maybe even a bread maker would work.  This recipe is different from any that I have seen and the wet wheat is needed for moisture. Also, it only takes me about an hour from start to finish. The bread needs only rise one time and then it goes to the oven for baking... it is just the nature of the live sprouts. Questions?

I haven't studied how ancient cultures made bread but I would imagine that if they wanted levened bread it would come from something such as a dough starter (like sour dough).

At one time I was tempted to make a starter using organic grapes when a professional baker warned me that the results are not predictable every time.

If you have any input we'd love to hear how levening is done naturally (and predictably if possible).

Thank you for your comment! =) have a great day!

Great question! Thank you for asking. Some people cannot eat wheat (sensativities/allergies). Sprouting makes the grain more digestable. For some people it is the only kind of bread they can eat so it is a heaven send. Sprouting also increases the nutrition and flavor of the grain. You are right, it is a lot of work. For those who want the benefit of eating the sprouted grain, one could certainly use the moist sprouts along with the regular freshly ground wheat flour.

This looks wonderful.  You are really a good bread maker. I'm impressed and you taught us a lot. Thanks

looks like quite an art to making sprouted bread.

Thanks for such a great video. I was wondering why you use the dry and wet sprouted wheat? Why don't you use just the flour from your sprouted dehydrated wheat to make the bread?

Is there any way to make this bread without the yeast? How were the ancients making the bread when there was no store bought yeast/baking powder ?.

@rexenne That's a great point, Rexenne. Essenes (who follow the raw vegetarian food diet) don't cook the bread in the oven, but outside in the sun. You can use a cast iron skillet in full sunlight after sprouting and crushing the wheat berries into thin wafers.

Please see the Essene Gospel of Peace for directions!

Seems kinda backwards to sprout it, then dry it back up. Can you explain more on this & why you choose to do soooo much more work by sprouting then drying it back out? And OMG that machine sounds possessed!
