In a large mixing bowl, combine the sprouted wheat flour, sprouted barley flour, sprouted millet flour, sprouted lentil flour, sprouted soybeans flour, sprouted spelt flour, and salt.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the instant yeast in the warm water. Ensure the water is not too hot, ideally around 110°F (43°C).
Stir in the honey and olive oil into the yeast mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until slightly frothy.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or stand mixer until combined.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes by hand on a lightly floured surface, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Fold in the raisins evenly throughout the dough.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased 9x5-inch bread pan.
Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
