Crockpot Recipie- Sweet Sprouted Wheat Bread FINAL

OK. I'm setting this one down in stone.

First, preheat your crockpot on high for 30 minutes.


Crock Pot Sprouted Wheat bread

Preheat a crock pot 30 min. Grease a cooking pan of some kind that will fit IN the crock ( I use old pyrex bowls)

2 cups milk, warmed ( not boiling) split into two cup fulls
2 Tablespoons of Yeast
3/4 cup of white flour
3/4 cup of honey

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of milk, yeast, honey and white flour.


In a blender, blend one cup warm milk and the sprouted wheat. This chops the wheat up nicely and makes a fluffier, more glutenous loaf.

Dump the milk and wheat into the bowl with the milk, yeast honey and white flour. Mix.

add

1/4 cup old fashioned toasted oats
1/4 cup flax meal ( if desired)

mix again.

add
3 cups whole wheat flour

mix 3-5 min - Note.. the longer you mix, the lighter the bread, This simulates the kneading action of tradional bread methods - my hand mixer worked fine for this.

Let stand 5 min.

Fill Baking Pan about 2/3 with dough. This is not a dry dough, its very wet. put in crockpot on high for about 3 hours. Remove from crock, remove from pan and cool. Voila.

The remaining dough can be frozen for your next batch.

I use an old pyrex bowl in a mini crock - my loaves look a little odd, but this is a delicious sweet snack or breakfast bread, not a sandwich bread, so to me, the difference is better.

SOME NOTES ON SPROUTING WHEAT

Make sure your wheat is only a few days sprouted - with no more than 1/4 inch root tails - otherwise the bread will be grassy and nasty!
