How to Prepare Wholesome Nutritious Manna Bread [Vegan]
- The first thing you need to do is soak and sprout wheat or spelt berries.
- Place your sprouts between two sheets of paper towel, and pat dry – making sure any excess water is absorbed. You want them to be as dry as possible before using, to cut down on the dehydration time.
- In your food processor, blend sprouted spelt berries and salt until a dough is formed. If using fillings or flavorings, add these in now.
- Remove, and knead into two small loaves or six bagels. If you find the mixture too sticky, you can use a little coconut flour on your hands while shaping.
- Dehydrate for 8-12 hours (for bread) or 4-6 hours (for bagels). Manna bread should keep in the freezer for two or three months.
