  3. Thoroughly drain and pat wheat berries dry.
  4. Spread drained wheat berries thinly on a baking or cookie sheet and place in oven at 200° until dry enough to crack easily, usually about an hour. Crack wheat in a grain mill, blender or with a zip lock bag and a rolling pin.

Will the grain really get tender soaking in cold water for just one hour? Other recipes call for boiling water to be used.

Cold water didn’t work but boiling did.
