Book's Note: The raw cracked wheat adds a crunchy texture to this noteworthy whole wheat bread. It's not as tall as some loaves, but it's just as delicious. Serve it proudly with dinner or use it for sandwiches. From Bread Machine Magic by Linda Rehberg and Lois Conway Submitted By LISA GREENWOOD On 09-28-94
