Benefits of Sprouted Grains
In Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bread Recipes
Your body needs a lot of different nutrients, and unfortunately, dried grains, legumes and other seeds only provide a portion of those nutrients.
But, according to James Talmage Stevens, author of the book, Making the Best of Basics: Family Preparedness Handbook
, once those same seeds/grains/legumes are sprouted, the nutrition they provided is multiplied, sometimes by as much as ten times.
A sprout has a wealth of valuable nutrients, including Vitamins A, B Complex, C and E as well as increased protein and additional amino acids that aid with digestion.
A sprouter
makes sprouting grains easier.

How to Sprout and Dry Grains for Flour
It is a fairly simply process to sprout grains, such as wheat, barley or spelt, for your bread.
Place your grains in a bowl and fill the bowl with cool water until the grains are completely covered with water.
Then cover the bowl with a paper towel and place in a warm spot overnight.
The next morning drain the grains in a colander.
Line a cookie sheet with paper towels and then spread the grains evenly over the towels.
Cover the grains with moist paper towels and moisten these paper towels twice daily.
You can also use a sprouter for ease of use.
Once the grains have "tails" that are about one-fourth of an inch long, they are ready to be dried.
Dry your grains in a dehydrator overnight.

Making Your Own Ezekiel Bread
Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bread Recipes have the following ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups sprouted wheat berries
- 1 1/2 cups sprouted spelt grains
- 1/2 cups sprouted barley grains
- 1/2 cup millet
- 1/4 cup dry green lentils
- 2 tablespoons dry great Northern beans
- 2 tablespoons dry kidney beans
- 2 tablespoons dried pinto beans
- 4 cups warm water
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons salt
A hand operated grain mill is a great way to have bread in an emergency.
Mix together the sprouted wheat berries, spelt grains and barley grains, along with the millet, lentils and beans.
Grind them in your grain mill and then place your Ezekiel flour in a bowl.
In another large bowl, add the water, honey, olive oil and yeast.
Stir and then allow it to sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
Then add the flour mixture along with the salt to the yeast mixture.
Stir for about ten minutes until it is well mixed. Your dough will resemble a batter bread.
Pour the bread dough into two greased, 9 x 5 loaf pans and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Then bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 50 minutes until the loaves are golden brown.
Ezekiel sprouted grain bread recipes like this one make two loaves.
If You Buy Premixed Ezekiel Grains
You can buy premixed Ezekiel grains for long-term storage, for your Ezekiel sprouted grain bread recipes, although the grains won't be sprouted.
For me, I've found that it takes about one and a half pounds (or four cups) of grain to make one loaf of bread.
If your family eats two loaves of bread per week, then you would need three pounds of grain per week or about 150 pounds of Ezekiel grains.
A food storage vault will protect your grain investment by keeping out oxygen and protecting your grain from insects and rodents.

Grain Storage Tips
Beans kept free from moisture and oxygen will last for several years.
Grains will also last for years, as long as they are kept in a cool, dry place.
Keeping the oxygen out will keep insects from hatching, but you can also add diatomaceous earth to protect your grains.
