Hi I'm Tricia an organic gardener.
I grow organically for a healthy and safe food supply,
for clean and sustainable environment,
for and enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Most people don't have time to make their own bread
but with this Breville Custom Loaf, it makes it simple.
Today we're going to be making sprouted wheat bread.
Sprouted wheat bread is nutritious and has a lower glycemic index than even
whole wheat bread.
The recipe I'm using calls for
one and a quarter cups warm water,
two tablespoons active dry yeast,
one-quarter cup olive oil,
one-quarter cup honey,
one-and-a-half teaspoons of salt,
and one cup of sprouted grains,
along with two cups of sprouted wheat flour
and two cups of organic bread flour.
You can buy sprouted wheat flour or you can make your own.
To make your own start with one and a third cups of wheat berries.
One cup of wheat berries will yield one and a half cups of flour,
for my recipe I need two cups of sprouted wheat flour.
Rinse the seeds a couple of times, skim off any floating debris you see and then
fill the bowl and let it sit over night.
In the morning you'll see some bubbles on top.
That means the wheat is beginning to sprout. The wheat should have little tiny
sprouts, this is a minimally sprouted wheat.
Rinse your minimally sprouted wheat thoroughly.
Next we're gonna dehydrate the wheat.
Spread your wheat
on a dehydrating tray up to about an inch thick.
Dehydrate at a hundred to a hundred and ten degrees fahrenheit until the wheat
berries are dry.
While the sprouts are dehydrating I'm going to start another batch of sprouts since my
recipe calls for fresh sprouts as well.
Blend one cup of your wet sprouted wheat
along with one and a quarter cups of warm water.
Blend until you get a fairly smooth puree.
Once your grain is dry
you wanna mill it.
Make sure it is milled finely, if it is too course you could damage the pan
of your bread maker.
Remove the bread pan from your Breville bread maker and install the paddle in the
upright position.
Put the ingredients in the bread pan in this order:
First your water sprouted grain puree,
a quarter cup of honey,
a quarter cup of olive oil,
two cups of sprouted wheat flour,
one-and-a-half teaspoons of salt and then you're active dry yeast.
Now just put the bread pan back in the bread maker
and make sure that it's properly seated
on the shaft.
I'll be using the whole wheat bread setting for a two point five pound loaf on
the bread maker.
This has a preheat option that allows the sprouted wheat flour to fully absorb
the liquid.
Hit start and wait until the first knead cycle for the last step.
This bread maker has a special holder so that you can add nuts and other mixings
automatically to your bread.
Once the bread maker starts kneading just add the two cups of bread flour. Once you've
added the bread flour your bread maker will do the rest.
It beeps when it's finished and it switches to a keep warm setting.
It smells soooo good!
Lets try some.
Wholesome whole wheat bread
you can do it and you can grow organic for life!
