What is sprouted flour, you may ask! Sprouted flour is made from whole grain that has been sprouted, dried, and then ground into flour. Sprouting grains break down antinutrients that prevent your body from from absoorbing the nutrients and vitamins. This creates a grain that is much easier for your body to digest. Sprouted flour also retains 100% of the bran and germ of the grain. If you would like to read more about sprouted flours here is a very interesting article…Benefits of Sprouted Flour!
I just recently purchase sprouted pastry flour from Granite Farms. I made the most delightful biscuits.
One Degree Sprouted flour is a very good product, too. I will use this flour when I do not have any other kind available.

Sprouted Pastry Flour from Granite Farms.
I buy sprouted flour in 25 pound bags from a wholesale company. If you have a Bulk Food store close by they can often order it in for you.
Parchment Paper is lifesaver for me. I keep a box of it here all the time.
I love my Kitchen Aid Mixer to mix this dough. It does a wonderful job!

Glenda, could you use einkorn flour for these?
Your recipe calls for sprouted pastry flour. The image/bag you show is sprouted whole wheat (which is the one I have on hand), not sprouted pastry. I have read to add cornstarch to flour to make it a “pastry” substitute, but this would not be TH compliant. Arrowroot? Or are you just using the pictured flour product?
You can use any type of sprouted flour. I re-edited my post.
What can I use in place of kefir?
I would use Greek yogurt thinned with water to a kefir consistancy.
How do you store your flour when you buy in bulk?
in large buckets
