Buggy Bread

A few weeks ago I made a batch of whole wheat berries and whole (unhulled) barley. When it was cooked I ended up with a huge crock pot filled to the top! I froze small batches in little containers slightly ashamed at my inability to judge quantity.
But this week I have retrieved the containers one at a time for an instant hot cereal and vegetable dinner accompaniment. The chewy texture is fun but I imagine it is probably like eating bugs.
Yesterday I threw a batch of wheat barley 'berries' into my raw bread dough. Since my Price Rite whole wheat flour is super finely ground compared to the 50 pound bags of medium grind I get from JAR Baker's Supply, I wanted to 'texture it up'. The result was fantastic bread with a buggy texture!
