Cracked Wheat Bread = absolutely scrumptious!

Not to brag but I made the best bread that my lips have ever touched. It was that good. The first slice I added butter and then quickly realized it was so delicious I didn't need anything with it...it is fantastic as is!

Here is the recipe (I use a bread mechine which is totally not cheating in my book!)

Ingredients:Serves: 16

  • 1 Servings Sizeloaf
  • 11 ounces water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 1/4 cups bread flour or 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup cracked wheat (or Red River Cereal)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast


Prep Time: 8 mins

Total Time: 43 mins

  • Add ingredients to bread bucket in order recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Select desired setting. I use the dough setting on my machine. Press "start".
  • If you used a regular setting, remove the finished bread when it is finished baking.
  • If you used the dough setting, dump the dough onto a floured countertop when the cycle is finished, knead a few times to remove air bubbles, shape into a loaf and place in greased loaf pan. Let rise until doubled or at least somewhat bigger, about 1 hour.
  • Bake for 35 minutes in oven preheated to 400ºF.

Confession: I ate 4 slices right away! I just couldn't resist. And my pup Olive was begging to try some so I let him. It gets his seal of approval! ;-)
