The ingredients for Essene Bread are:

1 cup red winter wheat berries
Water (for soaking/rinsing)

Here is how you make Essene Bread:

Soak the wheat berries in a jar or bowl overnight.Drain the wheat berries and leave to sprout. I do this in a mesh strainer set over a bowl, but you can also screw a piece of mesh on to a jar and let it sit at an angle.Rinse the berries and drain 2-3 times a day, for about 2 days, until they have sprouted little "tails." The exact time will vary based on the temperature in your kitchen.When the berries have sprouted, DO NOT rinse again, and place directly in a food processor with a good blade. A blender won't cut it here, trust me.Process the berries until the whole mass is fairly uniform and kind of sticks together. It will resemble a dough, but only slightly.Form into a big pattie, about an inch thick.Dehydrate the bread. There are multiple ways to do this. I do it by putting the wheat berry pattie in an oiled oven-proof dish, and placing it in my big crock pot on warm (not low), until a crust forms, about 10 hours.Serve w/ butter and jam, or however else sounds good to you!Can easily be multiplied, though the loaf should never be more than about an inch thick in order to dry properly.Serving Size: Makes 4 1/4-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FITINEASTBAY.
