Grinding sprouted grains for bread?

I have a Vitamix and a wheatgrass juicer (auger type), a grain mill, as well as a hand mixer. I would like to grind sprouted grain to use in bread directly (i.e., instead of dehydrating and grinding into flour). I know I can't use the grain mill because its for dry grain. I was wondering what I could use to grind the grain? Will Vitamix work or do I need a meat grinder?

How about a food processor?

Do you have a food processor?

I don't have a food processor

I don't have a food processor because Vitamix handles everything I need for processing foods.

Meat Grinder

If I was you, I would go to my local GoodWill and buy a cheap meat grinder. I see them on the shelves all the time and most in a unused state..

I've been sprouting my grains for my breads and use my meat grinder to grind the sprouts. I then use this portion as my whole wheat along with bread flour.

I even have a flour mill but don't use it much since I prefer my sprouted breads. Better tasting.

Good luck,

Dennis
