Ingredients

Equipment and Supplies:

1 quart mason jar
Sprouting lid
Dehydrator
Coffee grinder OR grain mill that can grind rice*

To Make The Rice Flour

3 cups filtered water
1 cup brown rice

Instructions

Sprouting the rice:

Put 1 cup of rice in a jar and fit with the sprouting lid. Pour water in the jar and rinse the rice and pour out the water. Then, fill the jar to the top with filtered water. Let soak overnight or for at least 6 hours.
After the rice has soaked, pour out the water and rest the jar upside down over a bowl or dish so it is allowed to drain. Every 3-6 hours, rinse the rice, pour off the water and place upside down so it can drain. The rice will sprout within 2-3 days. You will notice sprouts coming from the rice.

Making rice flour:

Place the sprouted rice in a dehydrator and allow the rice to dry completely. I set my dehydrator at about 125°F and let it run overnight.
Once the rice is dry, place small batches in a coffee grinder and grind it until it resembles flour. Pour the flour into a mason jar and continue grinding small batches until the rice is gone. Keep the rice flour in the fridge to keep it fresh.

Notes

A coffee grinder will work fine to make rice flour, but you can only work with small batches.
If you often use sprouted brown rice flour and are serious about consistently making your own, you may want to consider investing in a grain mill.
As you can see there is a lot involved in the process of making your own sprouted brown rice flour. For many real foodies or people on a traditional diet, this may not be an issue, because a lot of you may already have most of these supplies like a dehydrator and grain mill.
