Note
/50 flour is made by Hodgson Mills and can be found at Whole Foods or specialty baking stores.
Using a 50/50 flour blend ensures that your whole wheat bread will be substantial but not too heavy.
For a less crunchy loaf, soak the cracked wheat in 1/4 cup boiling water for 5 minutes before adding it to the pan. If using this method, decrease the water in the recipe to 5/8 cup.
