Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup sprouted whole wheat berries Make sure they are fresh and Halal-compliant.
  • 1 cup sprouted lentils
  • ½ cup sprouted barley Can substitute with other sprouted grains like quinoa.
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey Or maple syrup for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 cups warm water About 110°F/43°C.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by sprouting your grains and legumes. Rinse the whole wheat, lentils, and barley, then soak them in water for 8-12 hours. Rinse again and allow to sit in a jar, covered with a breathable cloth, for 1-2 days until they sprout.
  2. In a bowl, mix the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it’s frothy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add your sprouted grains, salt, and olive oil. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
  4. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan, cover again, and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
