This sprouted wheat bread recipe is made with 5 simple ingredients and is a delicious and healthy bread to enjoy anytime! It’s light, fluffy, and super simple to make – all you need are 5 simple ingredients, some good whole wheat flour, and you’ll have delicious bread in no time.
This bread is fantastic on it’s own to serve as an appetizer or with a charcuterie board. It’s also fantastic in holiday recipes to make healthier versions of favorites: like whole wheat stuffing, whole wheat French toast, and even whole wheat croutons for a holiday salad.
The holidays are here, and I love baking fresh bread to enjoy with any meal we serve. Great for leftover holiday sandwiches, grilled cheese with brie, or weekend French toast or garlic bread. It’s a perfect loaf for breakfast or brunch, an amazing way to treat your brunch guests, friends, and family to something healthy and homemade.
I am a huge fan of homemade breads, and I wanted to make a healthier bread with sprouted whole wheat flour. It only has a handful of ingredients (probably ones you already have in your pantry!) and this simple bread is ready in less than 2 hours.

The Best Whole Wheat Bread Starts with the Best Ingredients
I was so excited to partner with One Degree Organics to create this amazing vegan wheat bread for the holidays! They sent me a sample of their Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat Flour which I used to make these delightfully fluffy loaves.
The quality of the whole wheat flour is everything in this recipe! I like One Degree Organic Flours because they are certified as Glyphosate Residue Free and display the Bio-Checked Non Glyphosate Certified seal. Glyphosate has been classified as a “probable carcinogen,” or cancer-causing substance by the The World Health Organization… and I want to keep that out of my recipes.
I feel good knowing my flour is coming from a company that has 100% transparency with their ingredients and has third-party testers to keep the glyphosate out of my kitchen! Learn more about how One Degree Organics sources natural ingredients without glyphosate here.
What’s In This Vegan Sprouted Bread Recipe?
- Sprouted Whole Wheat Flour: I used a combination of this organic sprouted whole wheat flour and all purpose to make this loaf light and fluffy. You can use all whole wheat flour, but the texture will be denser and it won’t rise as much – that’s why I found the combination of the two flours does the trick perfectly!
- Warm Water: Use bottled or tap, whichever you would drink.
- Salt: For breads I like a fine ground sea salt which mixes into the dough evenly.
- Maple Syrup: I love using a natural sweetener for this recipe, so I used maple syrup. You can use your favorite natural sweetener as a substitute: honey, agave, or organic sugar.
- Instant Yeast: I love baking with this instant yeast, I absolutely love it! Instant yeast is great for both overnight breads and this easy quick whole wheat bread recipe too!
A Great Vegan Holiday or Thanksgiving Salad Recipe
This sprouted wheat bread recipe is a fantastic recipe for the holidays – add it to your Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Hanukah table and enjoy. This will be one crowd pleaser appetizer or side dish everyone can feel good about eating.
This simple bread has minimal ingredients, with no added preservatives or chemicals. Only clean whole ingredients you can feel good about serving.
How Do I Bake Sprouted Whole Wheat Bread?
- In a large mixing bowl, add the warm water, salt, sugar and yeast. Allow to sit for 5 minutes until yeast starts to bubble. With a wooden spoon, mix in the flour one cup at a time starting with the whole wheat flour.
- Knead by hand (or in a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment) for 5 minutes or until dough is soft and springy. Cover the dough with a tea towel, and allow dough to rest for 1-2 hours in a warm location. If its cold, I like to preheat my oven for one minute, turn it off, and let the dough rise in the warm oven.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once dough has risen and doubled in size, punch it down and form into loaves. Divide dough evenly and place them in greased loaf pans for 10-15 minutes while oven heats.
- Once oven reaches temperature, place loaf pans onto the center rack in the oven and bake bread for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
