  1. Great bread! I put everything in the BM and then baked at 375 for 35 min. Loved how light and airy it was. Great toast in the morning.
     
  2. This bread was excellent! Made it for sandwich bread. My boyfriend likes it as panini bread. In short, good recipe Anne! SUPERB!!!
     
  3. Fabulous light textured bread with yummy yummy texture. Let's just say that a friend of mine gave me a gallon of cracked wheat to use and I was going to give half of it away, but after making this - I'm going to keep all of it! I cut this recipe in half and ran it on the dough cycle then baked it in my stoneware bread pan - amazing!
     
  4. Love this recipe. It's the first time I tried a cracked wheat bread and the texture is amazing. This bread is still thick and hearty, while being light and fluffy at the same time. My husband says he doesn't want me to try out anymore recipes, he's found his favorite.
     
  5. Excellent Bread and even better toasted. Nice change from my regular whole wheat bread.

  1. This was pretty good bread. It was my first time baking bread and I had to substitute oat groats for cracked wheat so maybe that's why it wasn't perfect, but it did taste good. Note to bread newbies: Keep the water temperature at about 100 degrees or you will kill the yeast and your dough will not rise. I found this out the hard way :).
