Cracked Wheat Bread

Directions

Cook cracked wheat in the boiling water for 10 minutes, until all the water is absorbed.

Dissolve yeast in ⅓ cup of warm water and let proof.

Stir together shortening, salt, molasses, honey and the rest of the water and add to cracked wheat.

Stir in the flours a little at a time. When the dough is stiff, turn out onto a floured board and knead for 10 minutes, use extra flour if necessary.

Shape into a ball, place in oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled.

Punch down and shape into 2 loaves. Let rise until doubled.

Bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on racks.
