The Angelic Tortilla (update 8/14)


I was doing a little more research on bread making the old-fashioned way when I came across some recipes for making bread the Essene way. The Hebrews actually sprouted wheat before making the bread.

There are a lot of benefits for sprouting grains and using them for making bread.

Here is a Essene bread recipe:

There are many variations of making Essene bread. I found one that you dehydrate or cook it in the sun.

At my research facility (my kitchen) I am going to make healthy tortillas from using sprouted grains. I like the idea of tortillas. They are thin (not much flour) and no slicing. What better way to use your sprouted grains than by making tortillas.


Keep your sprouting jar at an angle. It helps your grains from molding or rotting in the jar. Good drainage is important for sprouting seeds. Rinse seeds at least two times a day.




Tortillas are easy to make. I used a food processor and made the dough without  the need of using a wheat grinder. I also used a little bit of white flour to help shape the dough. In shaping the tortillas I used a pizza roller on a flat cutting board. I find it is easier than using a tortilla press.
