'CRACKED WHEAT' BREAD
When I began my career as a cook, I made hearty loaves like these every week. Now that we have so many bakeries producing good breads, I don't really need to bake as often, but I've never gotten bread quite like this grainy loaf in a bakery. Make it on a weekend when you're at home for a while. There's only about 15 minutes of active work, but the bread requires several rises. Although I call it cracked wheat bread, I use bulgur, which makes a lighter, moister bread than cracked wheat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast and water, and stir until dissolved. Stir in the honey and molasses. Whisk in the bulgur, then whisk in the flours a cup at a time. Stir or whisk this mixture a hundred times for about two minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, cover the bowl tightly with plastic, and leave to rise in a warm spot for one hour until bubbly.
- Add the oil to the sponge and fold in, using a large spoon or spatula. Add the salt and fold in. Fold in 1 cup of whole wheat flour. Place some of the second cup of flour on your work surface, and scrape the dough onto it. Use a paddle to help fold the dough over to knead until it has absorbed the flour on the work surface. Flour your hands and your work surface, and knead the dough for 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary, until the dough is elastic and springs back when you press it with your finger. It will be dense and slightly tacky. Shape the dough into a ball. Rinse and dry your bowl, and coat with oil. Place the dough in it, then flip it over so that it is coated with oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and set in a warm spot to rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Punch down the dough again, cover the bowl and allow to rise for another hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Divide the dough in two and shape into loaves. Oil two 9 x 5-inch bread pans, and place the loaves in the pans, seam side up first, then seam side down. Cover with a damp towel, and allow to rise for 30 minutes or until the middle of the loaves rises above the edges of the pans.
- Gently brush the loaves with egg wash and, using a sharp knife, cut two or three 1/2-inch deep slashes across the top of each loaf. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, brushing again halfway through with egg wash. The bread is done when it is golden brown and responds to tapping with a hollow sound. Remove from the pans, and cool on a rack.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in cracked wheat and simmer for 10 minutes; let cool to lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the cracked wheat mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the butter, salt, molasses, honey, milk, yeast mixture, whole wheat flour and 2 cups of the bread flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped on top and bottom. Cool on racks.

CRACKED WHEAT BREAD
This is a slightly sweet, very hearty bread that's great with soup or just by itself. Like many breads, it takes some time the first time, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. The original recipe says this will make two loaves, I prefer however to make four, small 'personal' loaves which can be frozen for personal use or given as gifts.

- Combine the cracked wheat and boiling water and set aside until cooled and most of the water has been absorbed.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of warm water with the yeast. Add 1/2 cup bread flour and mix to form a thick batter. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 30 minutes while the cracked wheat cools. With the mixer running on low, add the cooled cracked wheat along with the soaking water. Add the salt, honey and whole wheat flour. Mix to combine.
- If using a stand mixer, switch to the dough hook. Add the remaining bread flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough gathers around the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl. If working by hand mix in as much flour as you can then turn the dough out onto a floured surface and finish kneading in the flour by hand. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes. Form the dough into a smooth ball
- Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, turn once to coat the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. At this point the dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

- In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sponge starter and whisk well. Cover and let the sponge ferment for 3 to 4 hours. (If you use a bread machine, combine the ingredients in the bread machine pan and let the starter sit in the bread machine with the lid closed, do NOT turn the bread machine on).
- Place the cracked wheat and water in a microwave safe bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and cook it on high in the microwave for 6 to 8 minutes until the wheat soaks up all the water and has a chewy texture (you will want to stop the microwave and stir it once or twice). Cover the wheat and place it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Add the cracked wheat to the sponge starter then add the bread flour, butter, sugar salt, and yeast. Combine the ingredients until the flour is moistened then cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes by hand or with a stand mixer on medium speed, until it is smooth and elastic. The dough should be fairly sticky. If it is too wet add small amounts of flour and if it is too dry spray some water on it and knead it in.
