Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Water
- 0.25 cup Cracked wheat
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 cups Bread flour
- 3 tablespoons Flax seeds
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
Instructions
Pour the water into the bread machine's pan.
Add the cracked wheat to the water and let it soak for 5 minutes to slightly soften.
Add the honey, olive oil, and salt to the pan.
Layer the whole wheat flour and bread flour on top of the water mixture. Ensure the flour covers the liquid completely.
Sprinkle the flax seeds on top of the flour.
Make a small well in the flour and add the instant yeast. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid securely.
Choose the whole wheat bread setting (or basic bread setting if your machine does not have a specific option for whole wheat). Select a 1.5-pound loaf size and medium crust color, if applicable.
Start the machine and let it knead, rise, and bake the bread, which will take approximately 3.5 hours, depending on your machine model.
Once baking is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
