i got a decent taste and "mouth-feel" by sprouting some wheat berries, grinding them in my vitamix, and then dehydrating them for a few hours at 95 degrees.
however...
it is pretty bland. just because i liked it doesn't mean anyone else will.
i did try it with some raw nut butter...just a little bit, and i loved it!

Gingerbread Balls
1 Serving
3 tablespoons unsalted raw butter
1 tablespoon unheated honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon raw carob powder
2 1/2 ounces raw walnut or pecan halves, pine or hazel nuts, or sunflower seeds

Warm butter and ginger in a 4-ounces jar, capped and immersed in a bowl of mildly hot water.
Blenderize nuts in an 8-ounces jar on high speed until they are flour (or pulse-blend to make it chunky). When butter melts, add honey and blenderize for 5 seconds. Add nuts and carob powder
and stir for 60 seconds. Put on plate and let stand for 2 hours until it firms. Form into balls. To harden it more, refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Almond Cinnamon Bread
By Chef Elaina Love

4 cups almond pulp, packed (leftover from making almond milk)
1 cup olive, almond, sesame or coconut oil
1 1/2 cup flax seeds ground into meal (2 cups meal)
1/2 cup date paste, honey or maple syrup
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup raisins or currents
2 tsp. Celtic sea salt

1. Mix almond meal and flax meal together by hand in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well with your hands.
2. Press onto a dehydrator tray lined with Teflon sheets or Parchment paper. It should be about 1/4" thick. Use your hands to smooth it flat. Flip the bread using another dehydrator tray on top, and remove the teflex sheet. Dry at 105 degrees for about 4 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze in a ziplock bag and remove pieces of bread as needed.

Fee Fye Foe Fumb I smell the blood of an Englishmun; Be he live or be he ded, ll grind his bones to make my bred.

Bread is scary. It's nice having a food that's 100% recognizeable.

Enlightened beings may know bread is wrong, Buuuut, people should enjoy their senses, no? Prepare some bread of your heart's desire. Tell us how good it is. I like hearing people enjoying raw veg food. You can always quit bread, I don't think raw bread is very addictive. Go Awayyy from this thread durianrider.

I make an onion bread that is unreal. Its a shoot off from matt ansdens rawvolution cook book.
Here goes:
1 cup flax ground in Vitamix
1 cup sunflower seed ground in food processor
3 large yellow onions finely sliced (cuisinart food processor does this great)
3 tomatoes; 1-3 jalapenos; red/green pepper; 2 cloves garlic, fresh herbs - mix in food processor
1/2 cup nama shoyu
1/4 cup olive oil
Mix it up in a bowl, spread on teflex sheet -flip when top dry and will peel - takes about 24 hours at 105 degrees.
I am so addicted to this stuff... Its unreal delicious. I guess you need to like onions and be able to cut them to enjoy this recipe though...

Peace and Love
Jason

Jason,

I just made some of Matt's onion bread and I too thought there needed to be more additions to it. I think his concept of keeping it simple is nice, it just needed something. Good ideas with the tomatoes and such.

I'm also wondering if the texture might be better if it the onions are roughly chopped versus sliced in the food processor.

Also, remember that green jalapenos and green bell peppers are not ripe. They are very acidic in their green states. So look for red jalapenos and anything but green bell peppers.

Thanks for the ideas.

What do you say about the yellow or the orange? And other colors?

I think they taste sweet.

Yellow and orange are ripe. The green ones are unripe and not good for your digestion. I always get heartburn from them and stopped using them once I found out that they were unripe, per LLI. Same with jalapenos... I only use them when they are red.

Thank you Pink. I haven't eaten jalapenos in years. I do juice green pepper occasionally, on cooler days. They haven't given me a problem. Maybe it can balance out depending on what's eaten later in the day. I used to avoid peppers altogether when I was veg, even though I loved the taste.

I tried the fine chopper in my food processor and it was bad. It made the onions' flavor overwhelm everything. Let me know if the rough chopped chunks are good.
Thanks for the pepper reminder. No green pepper in recipe ; )

Jason,

another thing I recently learned about onions...if you take the onions and you put them in a bowl of water and swish them around for a minute or so, drain them, and repeat this a couple of times...it actually helps to reduce the strong onion flavor and brings out the sweetness of them. It is incredible how it changes the flavor dynamics of onions. Just be sure to drain them really well before adding them to your onion bread recipe, maybe even just squeeze it out with your hands.

And yes, red, yellow, orange, any other color but the green peppers/bell peppers are better for your digestion.

Let me know what you think of the onion after using this method, if you try it that is :)
