This looks delicious. Getting my TMX is going to be like Christmas for me. I only have 9 more sleeps. I'm going to be thermomixing (is there such a word?) for ages and ages.

that sounds really interesting

Somebody suggested that it is good to soak the grains overnight to soften them, and not blitz them so much for a "sprouting grain" type bread.

Does anyone have a TM sprouted grain bread recipe?  I'm keen to try, but just got my TM 2 weeks ago - and am busy practising all the demo recipes 'cause I'm now a consultant!  Eventually I'll play more with my own recipes, but at the moment am too busy trying to get organized for the demos!

I needed a loaf in a hurry and this fitted the bill. I didn't have any grains, but I did have some spelt flour so I used that. I weighed my potato at 160g and microwaved it until soft, then cut it in 4 and let it cool a little. I put it in the bowl and chopped on speed 5 for a few seconds before I added the rest of the ingredients. I added the sunflower seeds after a minute as I was a little concerned that they would not mix in only 20 seconds.
My loaf split a little as it cooked, but it smells pretty good. I can't wait to taste it.

Can't wait to see it either Sue.

I haven't made this yet so I'm looking forward to hearing how it tastes.

The bread has quite a nice flavour, but it is very heavy and dense. I'd like to give it a try again, but let it prove before baking and see if I get a lighter texture.

It looks good ES but we like soft loaves here too.  As it originates from a German consultant, maybe that's why it's denser - isn't European bred much heavier than ours?
