WW bread with sprouted wheat flour
Starting last night, I made a large loaf of WW bread, with 30% of that sprouted wheat I made, just to see if it adds a similar flavor that the fresh wheat sprouts gives. I based it on an overnight WW recipe in Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads, which is started with a soaker (just WW flour, with some water or buttermilk left at room temperature) and a biga, which is just some WW flour, water, and a small amount of yeast, mixed, and refrigerated overnight.

The next day, the biga and soaker are broken up, and put in the KitchenAid bowl, and the remaining ingredients are added.

The bread is very good, but I don't notice any of that flavor I get in the bread in which I put fresh wheat sprouts in - 1/4 c dry berries, sprouted for a couple of days, and put in bread made with 6 c WW flour. I'll have to toast it, and see if that gets that flavor. Still, the sprouted wheat flour does give a lot of nutrients to the bread.
