Sprouted Spelt Sourdough Bread Recently, I bought spelt and rye berries. Instead of immediately grinding them into flour, I chose to sprout them first, hoping to raise their nutritional value and digestibility. Sprouted Spelt Berries The berries were first soaked for 8hours, then drained and placed in a strainer. Then they were rinsed every 6-8hrs. 16-18hours later, these berries would have sprouted. It takes slightly more than 24hrs to sprout these berries. After that, I will spread these sprouted berries on a lined baking tray and baked in the oven at 60-70 for about 6hrs or until fully dried. (They can also be dried in a dehydrator) These dried sprouted berries weighed roughly about the same as before they were soaked and sprouted. They will then be frozen at least 8hrs before ground into flour. To retain their freshness, the flour is kept in the freezer.
