Baking with Sprouted Wheat Flour

Have you tried baking with sprouted wheat flour? Here are some tips from the Home Baking Association and Chef Stephanie Peterson.

• Knead longer or add gluten. Sprouted wheat flour is a bit lower in gluten content. Knead dough longer or add extra vital wheat gluten.
• Use shorter fermentation time. While long fermentation gives more flavor and character, sprouted wheat flour will not raise as much.
• Cup for cup. Measure sprouted flour as traditional flour.
• Avoid rancidity. Store in a cool, dry, dark location, or even in the freezer.
• Food Safety. This is a raw flour just like all other flours. Wash your hands and clean equipment and surfaces well.
