Directions
-
Place the cracked wheat in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Stir well and let stand until cooled to room temperature.
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease two small loaf pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl or bread machine pan, combine the yeast, ginger, bread flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, salt, honey, evaporated milk, salad oil, and the cooled cracked wheat mixture.
-
Mix and knead the dough until smooth and elastic. If using a bread machine, run the dough cycle. If mixing by hand, knead for about 10 minutes.
-
Remove the dough from the machine or bowl. Divide it into two equal portions.
-
Shape each portion into a loaf and place into the prepared pans.
-
Cover the pans lightly and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Note
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for best yeast activation and dough consistency.
If using a bread machine, you can use the manual setting to mix and knead, then remove the dough for the rising and baking steps as described.
Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
The ginger amount is subtle; adjust to taste if you prefer a stronger spice kick.
