BSA 923 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 3/4 cups cracked wheat 3/4 cups oatmeal 1 tbsp kosher salt 2 tbsp butter 1 heaping tbsp brown sugar 2 cups boiling water Put the ingredients above in your kitchen aid mixer and let cool until it is 100 or so degrees. Sometimes I let it sit a little while then use my paddle attachment and let it spin until it cools enough. Most of the water will be absorbed after 10 or 15 minutes. In a 1 cup measure place 1 cup warm water 2 tbsp yeast and yes, two tbsp 1 tsp sugar. Let mixture sit until yeast starts working. Pour into cracked wheat mixture and start adding bread flour. It usually takes 6 to 7 cups of flour but that is an estimate. Let rise, cut into two loaves. I use two 9 x5 Pyrex loaf pans. They are hard to find. It seems like all they sell now are the 8 inch ones. If I see one in a Thrift shop, I snap it up. The dough weights about 4 lbs so you will have 2 2lb loaves. Grease your bread pans and let the dough rise again. I usually let it raise about an inch over the top of the pan. Bake at 375 for 35 to 40 minutes until a thermometer registers 200 degrees. Hope I have explained this well enough. I do everything by feel and not so much measurement but it is a great recipe. After making it the first time, you may want to adjust the salt to your taste. I probably use a little more than a tablespoon. I took this loaf out of the freezer so it doesn't look quite like it really is. freddyjbbq and DerHusker 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
