Beginning several days before you hope to be eating this bread rinse 1/2 cup raw wheat berries in cool water; drain. Soak the berries with cool water in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate or cloth and allow the berries to soak at normal room temperature overnight or for about 12 hours. The berries will soak up a considerable amount of water. Drain the berries in a colander cover the colander with a plate to prevent the berries from drying out and set it in a place away from light. Rinse the berries about 3 times a day and they will soon begin to sprout. In a couple of days the sprouts will reach their optimum length of about l/4 inch. Drain the sprouts and grind them in a blender or food processor.

If your machine has a raisin cycle you can put the sprouts in at the beep for more intact sprouts. If not the bread may have a mushy consistency.
