Sprouted Wheat and Honey Bread

Yields 2. A soft, light sprouted wheat bread with honey

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup grape seed oil
  • 3 1/4 cup sprouted whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/4 cup all purpose or bread flour

Instructions

  • Combine the water and honey in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let sit for 5-15 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
  • Add the salt and oil to the bowl liquid and mix lightly.
  • Add the sprouted wheat flour and stir in until just combined
  • Add the all purpose flour and either mix until a ball is formed with your hands or use the dough hook of a kitchen aid (or similar) stand mixer to combine and knead the dough.
  • Turn out dough onto a surface and knead until dough is soft and elastic.
  • Place in a greased bowl, oil top of dough lightly and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a draft free, warm area to rise. (I have a proof setting on my oven which works wonderfully for this). Let rise until double in size - about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough and divide evenly into 2. Shape into loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and place in a draft free, warm place until they have doubled in size - about an hour.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
  • Allow bread to cool 10 minutes in the pans then remove from the pans to a cooling rack. Brush the tops lightly with butter. Allow to cool completely prior to slicing.
