Sprouted Bread Tips: Sprouted bread rises faster than unsprouted, so watch it closely -- it falls royally, if allowed too much rise. Since practically no honey is sued in this recipe, the bread will not be golden brown when it is done.

Customers comment:

I talked with you last week regarding this recipe and how to sprout and dry this much grain...well I did it. I put the grain on 3 big cookie sheets and covered with a damp cloth and put them in the oven with the oven light on. It took 24 hours to dry, but it did just fine, and then I milled the flour and made the recipe. The bread turned out great!>>>
