Ingredients

• 1 cup cracked wheat
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
• 3 cups bread flour

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the cracked wheat, rolled oats, and boiling water. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
2. Once the mixture has cooled, stir in honey, vegetable oil, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
3. Gradually add bread flour to the mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
4. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
6. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
7. Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
