Description
Looking for a healthier bread option? Try making sprouted whole wheat bread in your bread machine! This recipe uses sprouted whole wheat flour, which is made from wheat that has been allowed to sprout before being ground into flour. Sprouting the wheat helps to break down some of the starches and make the nutrients more available to your body. The result is a delicious, nutty bread that’s perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just snacking.Prep Time
10 minutesCook Time
3 hours and 30 minutesIngredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups sprouted whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Equipment
- Bread machine
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
Method
- Add the warm water, honey, olive oil, salt, and sprouted whole wheat flour to the bread machine pan in the order listed. Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the yeast.
- Insert the pan into the bread machine and select the “whole wheat” or “basic” cycle with a medium crust color.
- Press start and let the bread machine do its thing! After the cycle is complete, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- If your bread machine has a “whole grain” cycle, that’s even better! This cycle is designed to work with the denser texture of whole grain flours.
- You can substitute other types of flour for the sprouted whole wheat flour, but the texture and flavor of the bread may be different.
- Don’t be tempted to open the bread machine during the baking cycle! This can cause the bread to collapse or not rise properly.

- Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot. Water that’s too hot can kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising.
