Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Water
- 0.33 cups Cracked wheat
- 2.5 cups Bread flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat 1.25 cups of water until warm but not boiling. Add the cracked wheat and let it soak for 15 minutes to soften.
After soaking, pour the water and cracked wheat mixture into the bread machine pan.
Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, honey, olive oil, salt, and dry milk powder to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer of your bread machine.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid at this stage.
Secure the pan in the bread machine and select the basic or whole wheat program, depending on your machine. Choose a medium crust setting if this option is available.
Start the machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the selected program.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the pan from the machine and turn the loaf out onto a wire rack.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
