Sprouting Wheat Berries (Making bread)

[SmashingHP]

We do not like the NT sourdough or the buttermilk cheaters bread either. So soaking grains is out. So then I was thinking of sprouting the wheat berries, dehydrating and then grinding into flour and proceeding as normal with my regular bread recipe. Would this work? If so, how long do I dehydrate? And how do I sprout? I read the instructions in NT.

Bump! Anyone?

BTDT...wheat berries will mold very fast if you don't keep up with them, so make sure you have the ability to keep up with them. Soak overnight, spread out on a tray and rinse no less than 3 times a day (preferrably more). After 2-3 days, rinse and then start the dehydration process. Once they're dehydrated, I store them in a container in the freezer until I need to grind them up.

I sprout mine in a sieve. I soak them overnight then put them into the sieve and rinse them. I rinse them several times a day (keep them by the sink so I can do it when I am there). I keep them damp by stirring them gently a couple of times a day as the ones on the top will dry out. I dry them when the tails are about 2mm long.
You need to dehydrate them until they crack loudly when bitten or crushed between two spoons. If they form a flat flake or squash then they are too wet still. No idea how long that will take with your equipment! When they crack you can either store them or grind and freeze them (better to store them whole if you aren't going to use them quickly).
