Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup sprouted grain flour (e.g., sprouted spelt or sprouted wheat)
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water-honey mixture. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until the yeast becomes frothy.
Add the extra virgin olive oil, salt, and 2.5 cups of the whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the sprouted grain flour and remaining whole wheat flour, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Punch the dough down and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until it rises about 1 inch above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle the top of the loaf with rolled oats for garnish.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 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 let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
