Decided to start making more bread with sprouted einkorn so a few days ago I started the process.
6 cups organic einkorn wheat berries
8 cups of water ( not tap water which is chlorinated)
Place the 6 cups of wheat berries in a large bowl. Rinse with water not chlorinated and drain. Add the 8 cups of water (enough to cover the wheat berries) soak berries for 12 hrs. Drain berries and allow berries to sit uncovered in bowl making sure that they are moist but not too wet. You may rinse berries if they become too dry. When little tails start to appear it is time to dry the berries. If you have a dehydrator set the temperature to 110° and dry for about 12 hours. Periodically check the moisture level by cracking a grain. If it snaps easily they are dry enough. If still moist or bendable let them go a bit longer. There is a sweet spot so do not let them get so dry that they are hard and brittle. Your flour when the berries are ground will produce a gummy product. Store grains either in the freezer or sealed container.
