Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 Dear Ann, I think you were the person who asked me if I had a sprouted bread recipe and I said no and suggested you ask for one on this list. I have made the following one with good success and I'm going to send you 3 more from a cook-book that sound good but I haven't had time to try them yet. So here goes with the one I have tried. Raw Sprouted Wheat Bread (thin like crackers - chewy) Meat Grinder Style 1 cup sprouted wheat (2 to 3 days old) Spices of your choice Tamari or soy sauce (optional) Meat grinder - manual or electric Rolling pin and surface to roll out dough Attach food (meat) grinder to a very solid surface - table, cutting board, workbench. Fill top of meat grinder with sprouted wheat and grind (if using Tamari pour a little onto wheat and this makes the grinding a little easier.) It takes a good deal of strength to manually turn the handle. A very stiff, ground wheat will come out. Scrape the metal plate with a knife to get all of the wheat. Repeat this process until all of the wheat is ground. Take half of the dough and form it into a ball. Place spices on rolling surface instead of the usual flour to keep the dough from sticking. Suggestions: Onion flakes, Sesame seeds, Flax seeds coarsely ground or whole, Curry powder, Oregano, Thyme, Celtic Salt, Pepper - black, white, hot etc. be creative. I like to toss the herbs into my coffee grinder which is only used for herbs and give the "on" button a couple of short presses to mix all the herbs together and grind them slightly. Roll the dough on one side and then turn it over adding more herb powder to the surface if needed. Roll until the dough is about 1/4 inch thick and use a 2 inch diameter glass or cookie cutter to cut the dough. Place rounds on a plate or cookie sheet. Reform left over dough into a ball, roll and cut again. By this time you will probably not need to use more herbs as the dough will not be sticking and already has enough flavor. When all the dough is cut, place the tray on your dining room table for a day or two or put them in the sun for 10-20 minutes, turn and leave for another 10-20 minutes depending on how hot it is. Protect from birds, cats and insects. A screened porch is ideal or a spot where you can keep your eye on them. I have a wire with screen on it used at picnics to put over a cake or plate of food. 2 of these work quite well. The longer they dry the more chewy they get. If you don't eat them within a day or two, store in the refrigerator. I’ve heard of these lasting a week, however, I prefer to eat them within 3 days. I haven’t tried it but I imagine they would freeze quite well if separated by wax paper for easy separation. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 That wasn't me (that originally asked) but I was looking for something to give away as gifts and to have around here this week and these all sound great! William really seems to miss crackers and butter. I've got my spelt berries soaking now. Thanks, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Butter is not all bad. It contains many nutrients which can contribute to healing. (Remember that most of the data against butter was developed by the margarine industry.) As an alternative, i would strongly suggest you try Ghee, a form of clarified butter developed in India. It may provide the particular balance you need in this situation. I always recommend the Purity Farms brand if you don't want to make it yourself. I've had several visits with the people behind the product, and know them to be of very high integrity. There may be other brands just as good, but that's what i know.
