I ...Thanks so much for your blog on Essene Bread. <br />I got a recipe from a book that said:<br />"wash the wheat berries every day for 3 - 5 days (close with cloth) and leave in dark space." After 3 - 5 days when berries have sprouted, was again and blend for about two minutes until mushy. Knead for 10 minutes make a round ball and bake for an hour at 350F.<br /><br />It didn't work out, he he. I baked it for an hour and half and its still not done.<br /><br />Now I will try it the correct way - your wayELSJE PARSONS MASSYNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185161978982585846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-17811650039248210082011-04-06T21:21:49.408-07:002011-04-06T21:21:49.408-07:00Great!

I've also just read the Essene Gospel of Peace and I love the philosophy of it ... I do have an electric dehydrator but since we're in Northern Ontario, although we get bad winters, we also get HOT summers, so I've asked hubby to make me a solar dehydrator for sundrying tomatoes etc, plus I'm going to try thise Essene Recipe.Aranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779770255769327988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-58015109178036303872009-09-25T09:31:23.654-07:002009-09-25T09:31:23.654-07:00Hi ML

It should be no thicker than a thin pitta bread, in fact I'd say mine is generally thinner than that.Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-18399689978776936182009-09-25T07:22:52.573-07:002009-09-25T07:22:52.573-07:00Hi Debbie,

In other words, must it be aired otherwise there may be condensation on the glass cover. Also how thin should the bread be, quarter inch?<br />Thanks.<br />M LUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322574908137868781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-67274240180385758822009-08-10T11:19:19.505-07:002009-08-10T11:19:19.505-07:00Hi Jonas

Sometimes I get away with these things, sometimes I don't :-)<br /><br />And, yes, you could eat the sprouted wheat just as it is. Some people mix it into salads, but, be warned...I remember using it in a salad once, and I had gas bigtime. Must have mixed it with something my digestive system objected to!Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-56121254859714180982009-08-10T11:07:49.541-07:002009-08-10T11:07:49.541-07:00Wow.

Then I mimicked you and put some avocado and a lil' sea salt on, and it was a-may-zing! I was literally giggling to myself as I ate it. You know, the first time I read this I thought it was "essence bread", but it might as well be. Aah, I've probably just been craving starches and fats too much lately. =) <br /><br />Ate with a side of lettuce from the garden and fresh organic baby cucumbers. No tomatoes on hand, so I'll have to try that another time - you've had no problems with that combination even though acid/starch is supposed to be no-no?<br /><br />I'm curious, are there any reasons for letting it dry out other than taste and texture? Should I think twice about eating the whole sprouted wheat without making the actual bread?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540195309446653740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-8071686098471868532008-11-16T06:06:00.000-08:002008-11-16T06:06:00.000-08:00Hi BerryBeautyGood to hear from you.Have a look at...Hi BerryBeauty<BR/><BR/>Good to hear from you.<BR/><BR/>Have a look at the article on wheat that preceded this.<BR/><BR/>I've read plenty of reports from those who had wheat intolerances that say they're fine with raw, sprouted wheat, but these have been mainly on forums, ie there are no 'scientific studies' that I'm aware of.Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-8727151056091908322008-11-16T05:57:00.000-08:002008-11-16T05:57:00.000-08:00How do those you have wheat intolerances react to ...How do those you have wheat intolerances react to raw wheat?

It'll probably 'do' within a few hours on a day like this.<BR/><BR/>I've never dehydrated it. This is simply because although I do love to use the dehydrator for some things (eg other breads and flax crackers), I prefer to keep my Essene bread as close to the original as possible.<BR/><BR/>Even on a dull day I find that if I leave it out in the kitchen it's still just about done by the evening, and even if it's a little damp, I eat it anyway - folds around a filling easily that way - and have not had any ill-effects.<BR/><BR/>Hooray for the lovely sunny weather now - we can put the bread outside!<BR/><BR/>So glad to hear you're making it, Anthony. Hope you enjoy it!<BR/><BR/>Love, DebbieDebbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-87655118012271445472008-05-03T02:47:00.000-07:002008-05-03T02:47:00.000-07:00Hi DebbieThanks for posting this - my first batch ...Hi Debbie<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this - my first batch is on the balcony benefiting from a few rays from the angel of sunshine as I type.<BR/><BR/>I love the simplicity of this but I'm wondering if you've tried putting it in the dehydrator for a bit and if so for how long. <BR/><BR/>Any ideas?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Antony :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-10764608730108282742008-04-19T04:13:00.000-07:002008-04-19T04:13:00.000-07:00Thanx for this Debbie..I am reading The Essene Gos...Thanx for this Debbie..<BR/><BR/>I am reading The Essene Gospel of Peace, tiz inspiring.<BR/><BR/>Love & Blessings <BR/>Kelly xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
