CRACKED WHEAT BREAD (FOR BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 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.

FLAX SEED BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place ingredients in your bread machine as directed by your manufacturer.
• Set to dough cycle. Check the consistency after about 10 minutes - if it looks dry, add a little more water.
• After initial rise, remove, shape in a large round loaf (or whatever you like), let rise again on a cornmeal dusted baking pan.
• Preheat oven to 400 deg. If desired, brush loaf with an egg wash (one egg beaten with 1 tbl. cold water). Slash loaf with sharp knife. Place in oven. After 15 min., reduce temperature to 350 deg.
• Bake for an additional 25 minutes or until loaf is done - an instant thermometer should read 205 deg.
• Turn onto cooling rack and let cool.
• Note: If using flax seed, 2/3 cups seed will grind into 1 cup flax meal.
• Note2: If using egg wash, you may also sprinkle loaf with whole flax or poppy seeds.

CRACKED WHEAT BREAD II

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in cracked wheat and simmer for 10 minutes; let cool to lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Pour the cracked wheat mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the butter, salt, molasses, honey, milk, yeast mixture, whole wheat flour and 2 cups of the bread flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
• When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped on top and bottom. Cool on racks.
