Lme?

So I'm fairly new to brewing, I've done a few batches and recently run across a recipe for a dunkelweizen. I am very excited to try this, however, the recipe noted nothing about any malt extract syrup. I might sound totally dumb, but is malt extract syrup of any kind needed in all beer? ItIt mentioned

It did however mention wheat malt. Is this a substitute of any kind?

It's possible that you may be looking at an all-grain recipe. No malt syrup (liquid malt extract) is needed since you're making your own fermentables from scratch by mashing the grains.

I'm sure that if you hunt around, you'll find a similar extract (LME or DME) recipe.

Oh cool, yeah, I haven't gotten much into mashing at all yet. Figure I'll put this one of a batch or two till I've dug up some more knowledge! Thank you!
