GFCF Sprouted Flour Recipe
Posted on 08 September 2009 by C. Linderman Sr. - ATO Press
You can get the sprouted flours from www.creatingheaven.net
We particularly like the Spelt, Wheat and the Rye.
We have found that after 2 1/2 years of our son being on the GF/CF diet, that he tolerates this bread quite well, but using all sprouted grains will ensure that this recipe will have less than 2% gluten and studies have shown that this is generally well tolerated, even with celiac disease sufferers (this will however, make a very heavy bread). You can also make this bread with 3 cups of sprouted flour and 2 cups organic flour to cut the gluten content. Sprouted flour digests like vegetable matter and our son loves this mixture below!
Ingredients:
1 Cup organic whole milk
1/2 Cup organic butter
1/2 cup pure cane sugar
1 tsp sea salt
3 tsp red star yeast
3 cups organic flour and 2 cups sprouted flour (your choice)
3 free range eggs
1/4 cup water
Warm milk on stove (do not ever use a microwave). Add butter and sugar to bread machine, then add the warm milk and yeast to bread machine and stir. Allow yeast to proof in mixture 10 minutes before doing anything to the contents of the bread machine.
Add the 2 cups sprouted flour, eggs and water. Then add 3 cups organic flour.
Set bread machine to dough setting – check after 10 minutes- may need to scrape sides and mix a bit, then allow dough setting to finish.
Grease 2 bread pans with organic butter or olive oil- split dough between the two pans evenly- brush top of dough with olive oil and let raise for one hour or until size has doubled.
Bake at 260 degrees for 30 -45 minutes or until bread is golden and sounds hollow when you tap the top.
If not eaten within 2 – 3 days, refrigerate to prevent spoiling- remember it has no preservatives!
Can be mixed by hand- do not overwork as this will make a tough bread. When all of the ingredients are incorporated, put in greased bowl and let rise. Then separate and put bread in pans as in machine method.
ENJOY!

We have learned quite a bit about the organic diet and we would suggest that when you are finished with the GF/CF diet, that you not go back to your old diet. The Genetically Modified Foods / pesticides/ Herbicides and proccessed foods with MSG and other chemicals are truly detrimental to our health and longevity. Many of us have spent years trying to detox our kids and replacing the toxins with new and improved toxins is not the answer! Please visit Andrea Lalama’s website; www.reversingautism.org to get a better idea of what the food supply is doing to our children ( as well as our own bodies).



Yes Suzanne, although we don’t advocate margerine or soy milk. Soy is 80% genetically modified and subjecting your children to the pesticide ridden soy milk while many of us are trying to de toxify our kids is not recommended. We recommend using almond milk if there are no nut allergies. also, Spectrum has a shortening that is great or you can use Fleischmans unsalted butter (but neither of these are completely organic). What we have found with many of the allergies that our kids have is that they’re not neccesarily allergic to wheat or milk, but rather allergic to the additives. Our child (who was GF/CF) can now eat the wheat and the have the milk in the recipe since it is organic, perhaps this isn’t so with your child but it’s something to test in small amounts if you so desire. Please let me knnow if this has been helpful. Good luck!
Can something substitute for the butter and milk in this recipe for those who are unable to eat dairy?
Thanks.
I found a great source for sprouted flours so I thought I’d share my search with you. These organic flours are amazing and make wonderful bread and baked goods. Essential Eating Sprouted Flours (essentialeating.com) are distributed by Shiloh Farms (shilohfarms.com). My health food store now carries them. Imagine flours that digest as vegetables!
