Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cracked wheat*
  • 2-3/4 cups whole wheat flour made from hard white wheat OR all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (2-1/4 tsp.) envelope Fleischmann's® Active Dry Yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (100° to 110°F), divided

Directions

  1. Heat milk to simmer; stir in cracked wheat. Cool to lukewarm.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, salt and butter in food processor; process with metal blade for 15 seconds. Add cracked wheat mixture; process for 5 seconds. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
