Bread Machine Cracked Wheat & Flax Seed Bread

Chef Joyous's Note:

I use a bread machine to make the dough and bake it in the oven for an excellent, light bread for sandwiches and toast! I am sure that you could finish it in the bread machine, but I prefer to bake it in the oven.

Another winner! Great flavor, texture and crust. Great with a bowl of soup. Made for Spring 2009 PAC.

Made this in the BM on dough cycle. Then made into small loaves. This is great bread. I didn't have bulgar wheat so used barley flakes. It was very good bread.
