I decided to try a simple yeast dinner roll recipe, using the Super Sprout™, and it handled a little differently [than regular flour], but I was able to mix it to a consistency that allowed me to properly knead the dough. After a rise, I punched it down, and found it quite easy to form into balls for my yeast rolls. These were pan rolls, and I baked them in round aluminum cake pans. I found that they required a slightly longer baking time than I had anticipated. They browned a little on top, but weren't as brown on the bottom as I might have expected. Since my wife doesn't like bread to be very brown on the bottom, this was a plus for me. They remained soft on the bottom, but not too doughy.

At dinner, we hosted my sister-in-law, who, like my wife, is a bread-lover. I explained that this was my first test using a new flour to make the yeast rolls and told them they were my taste-testers. My wife's sister bit into one and grinned. "These things are pretty good!" she quickly replied. My wife responded similarly. "I could eat this whole pan " she quipped. She showed restraint however (as did I!) so we were able to save some rolls for my gluten intolerant friend.

The next morning at the Bible study I teach I presented her with a small bag of rolls...she opened the bag to sniff. She gleefully rolled her eyes back and smiled with pleasure but hesitated when I told her they were made with sprouted wheat. She explained that whenever she eats products made with wheat she has almost an immediate fairly severe reaction. She made the decision to wait until she got home from church before taking a bite.

That evening I received her report: "Wow!" The bread is delicious! It smells like real bread. It is textured like real bread...it is REAL bread! It's been over a year since I've had anything close. Thank you so much for sharing. All is good with my 'processing' so far too."

Just to be sure I checked-in with her the next day. Here's what she said "Since I don't consume wheat at all now unless it's by accident my system 'lets me know' immediately. I have had no problems!"
