i found instructions that look pretty decent here: http://www.geocities.com/newlibertyvillage/earthstar/essenebread.htm only problem is that i dont have a food processor. ::sigh:: i wonder what they did back in the days before electricity.
My guess is, they did it by hand! But it takes a lot of time and force. When I bake my regular bread, I usually use only my hands, I just love the feeling!
no, i just checked my recipe and it says to use a food processor. maybe you could try a pestle and mortar though?
I have just seen, they sell essene bread in the bakery at the health food store where I always go... next time I am going to try it! even though it's a lot more expensive then the other breads. It funny. A lot of german tradtional breads, the really dark ones, that the germans are stereotyped for, use sprouts!
