Questions about Sprouted wheat bread
What is sprouted wheat bread?
It is bread made with wheat grains that have been allowed to germinate before they are milled or mixed into the dough. Sprouting gives the grain a slightly sweet, malty flavour; the bread may contain whole or partly ground kernels.
How do you toast sprouted wheat bread without it drying out?
Toast a slice until just golden, then add moist toppings such as mashed avocado, cottage cheese or sliced tomato. Its dense crumb can brown quickly, so use a moderate toaster setting and check it early.
Can you use sprouted wheat bread for sandwiches?
Yes. Its hearty texture holds up well with hummus, egg, cheese or roast vegetables; for a less chewy sandwich, toast the slices lightly first.
How should you store sprouted wheat bread?
Keep it sealed at room temperature and use it within a few days, following any storage directions on the pack. For longer storage, freeze slices with baking paper between them and toast them straight from frozen.
Is sprouted wheat bread the same as wheat bread?
No. Sprouted wheat bread is made with germinated wheat, while ordinary wheat bread uses flour made from ungerminated grain. Wheat bread has 313 kcal per 100 g, compared with 188 kcal in sprouted wheat bread.
