Sprouted Wheat Berries Essene Bread Recipe

Name: Sprouted Wheat Berries Essene Bread Recipe
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 8
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 1 cup or about 250g organic wheat grain; a handful or about 25g raisins, soaked for at least an hour (optional); a handful or about 25g almonds, soaked for at least 4 hours, roughly chopped (optional)

This is said to be the first bread known to mankind. It is dated back to BC, and is a bread made from sprouted wheat berries, ground and cooked at low temperature or in the heat of the sun, to make the most nutritious bread possible. For a raw Essene bread, dehydrate the shaped bread at no more than 42 degrees C. Otherwise, cook in your oven at up to 100 degrees C.

Method

Rinse and soak the wheat grains for 8 hours or overnight.
Rinse, drain and sprout the wheat grains until the little tail is the same size as the wheat grain. This will take a day or 2 depending on the temperature and humidity in your kitchen. Once ready, rinse and drain.
Gently grind your sprouted wheat berries, add the raisins and almonds if using, and shape the dough into 2 small loafs.
Cook or dehydrate your loaves, until the outside is firm and springs back when gently pushed with a finger.
The bread will keep for over a week in the fridge.
