Essene Bread
Sprout some wheat, grind it up and shape a loaf.
Bake it in an oven or on a wood stove - at low temperature, and you've got living bread!
The size of your loaf depends on the amount of sprouts you use - it is completely up to you!
Experiment!
Sprouts to Use
Wheat
Ingredients
2 - 4 cups Wheat Sprouts
The root should be about equal in length
to the wheat berry.
Flax and/or Sesame Seeds
Preparation
Grind the sprouts.
We use our food processor.
Put the dough in a large bowl
(You can knead for about 10 minutes - optional).
Wet your hands and form the dough into oval or round loaves, balls, sticks or buns.
Coat a cookie sheet with flax or sesame seeds to keep the loaf from sticking. An alternate way is to dip the bottom of each loaf into a bowl fill with seeds - they will stick to the dough.
Always use a cookie sheet and bake at approximately 160 degrees (higher is okay up to 250 degrees, but this will kill some of the enzymes).
How long to bake? Well that depends on the shape of the loaf. Thick loaves will take about an hour, smaller loaves naturally will take less time. It should be moist and chewy inside. Experiment.
Serve
Yup!
Notes
The sprouting process produces live food.
There’s a big gain in vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.
No need for yeast, sugar, milk, oil or butter.
You won’t need to knead the dough, although a few minutes of kneading is optional and will produce a superior loaf.
You don’t have to wait for the bread to rise.
It’s delicious!

We only use the phone for emergencies.
Back in 2001 we were still using the phone. One day I was talking to a long-time customer while pushing my (then 4 year old) daughter on the swing in our backyard (this is what a mom n' pop business is like on the internet). It dawned on me that my priorities were severely messed up, so I stopped using the phone. I love to talk and I love to help, but my family would never see me if I picked up the phone again, and that's just wrong don't you think?!
The very best way to contact us is through E-mail =:-)
We are quite fast and VERY thorough. We love to help.
We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, Mom n' Pop Sprout. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001.
We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed.
We appreciate your patronage more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here.
Thanks again for your support and your many kind words.
