measure before!

I always recommend adding enough flour so that the dough is just slightly sticky (but not too much).

I don’t think you have made this bread presoaking the cracked wheat. I poured boiling water over the cracked wheat, let it sit an hour and drained the remaining water as instructed in the recipe. I weighted the flour and the water. This process resulted in way to much liquid in the dough. I had to add much more flour than called for in the recipe together the dough slightly sticky as stated in the recipe.
I think the correct process is to boil the amount of water called for in the recipe and pour this over the cracked wheat, let it sit for an hour, and add this to the dough when called for in the recipe.

Sounds like excellent substitutions, Joan!

Delicious and easy! I used fine cracked wheat, which incorporated nicely without being too crunchy. I did use only 1 cup, and upped the oats to 1 cup. We like our bread a little sweeter, and my honey was running low, so I subbed in 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Will be making this again!

This was delicious! Moist and flavorful. I think next time I’ll soften the cracked wheat in boiling water before adding it to the recipe because I found the cracked wheat pieces a little too hard and crunchy. But this was a fantastic recipe!

I normally use coarse cracked wheat.

Hi Damaris. What kind of seeds are you talking bout here?

The cracked wheat I use is linked in the recipe.
