Sprouted Wheat Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made from whole wheat berries that have been allowed to sprout before being milled into flour. The resulting bread typically has a denser texture and a slightly sweeter, nuttier flavor compared to bread made from unsprouted flour. It is often a popular choice for those seeking a different kind of whole grain bread.
