Angelic Bakehouse 7 Sprouted Whole Grain Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made with seven different sprouted whole grains. The process involves soaking the grains until they begin to germinate, which is believed to make them more digestible. This bread is baked and then packaged for sale at room temperature, meaning it does not require refrigeration before opening. It offers a hearty texture and a distinct flavor profile from the combination of sprouted grains.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile staple for everyday meals. Its unique grain blend makes it suitable for a variety of culinary applications.
- Sandwich base
- Toast for breakfast
- Crouton ingredient
- Bread pudding component
You can use this bread just like any other loaf. Slice it for sandwiches, toast it for breakfast with your favorite toppings, or cube it for homemade croutons. It holds up well to hearty fillings due to its dense texture. For dishes like bread pudding, the slightly chewy nature of the sprouted grains adds an interesting dimension. It can also be incorporated into stuffing recipes or used as a base for French toast. Its flavor profile complements both sweet and savory preparations.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard white bread, this sprouted grain loaf has a denser crumb and a more robust, nutty flavor. The sprouting process alters the starches and proteins in the grains, potentially leading to a different mouthfeel and taste. It is also typically made with a higher proportion of whole grains.

Home cooks looking for a wholesome bread option for their families will appreciate this loaf.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining bread in a cool, dry place. A bread box or a tightly sealed bag will help maintain its freshness. For longer storage, you can freeze the loaf or individual slices. Ensure it is well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
