This sprouted wheat bread recipe is made with 5 simple ingredients and is a delicious and easy 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.
In a large mixing bowl, add the warm water, salt, maple syrup, 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.
