Raw Essene Bread


RAW DEHYDRATOR CRACKERS (ESSENE BREAD)
Dehydrating (as opposed to baking) crackers preserves all of the enzymes in them, making
them ideally digestible. Try using them instead of bread for a 100% raw sandwich, or with
your favorite soup or salad.
For someone who wishes to follow a 100% raw food program, these are a real staple.
2 c sprouted grain (hard red wheat is my favorite for this)
1 c water
¼ c extra virgin olive oil
½ t sea salt (not optional, this keeps grain from fermenting before it dries out completely)
1. Combine all ingredients in blender. Begin blending on low, and increase speed as
mixture thickens.
2. Blend until very smooth, with no small pieces of kernels detectable. This may take 5-
8 minutes in a standard blender.
3. Spread mixture evenly on teflex dehydrator sheets.
4. Dehydrate at 115° until very crisp. In my humid kitchen, this takes upwards of 48
hours.
5. Optional: midway through dehydrating, crackers may be scored with a knife or pizza
cutter so they may be broken into evenly shaped pieces.
Uses: in addition to serving with soups, salads or as ‘bread’ for sandwiches, finished crackers
