I wanted to make a hedgehog from sourdough dough. But when I showed it to my husband he called it a mouse. It reminds me more an armadillo.  Anyway, no matter how strange my Unidentified Sourdough Pet  looks, it will be eaten soon. :)

Sprouting Kamut Grains:

Rinse grains and drain. Put into a large bowl and cover with water. Cover with a cloth and set aside for 12 hours.
Drain and rinse the grains again. Bring back to the bowl, cover and set aside for another 12 hours.
Drain the grains, arrange them in an oblong baking pan or glass dish lined with a cloth. Set aside in a dark place for a few hours. Grind. You can keep them in refrigerator for a week or freeze for later usage.
To make  sprouted grain flour you need at first to dehydrate the sprouted grains and than grind them.
