Directions

THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Combine the first 7 ingredients (using FRESH seeds only!) in 1⅓ cup of boiling water and soak for 1 hour minimum. (This pre-soaks the cracked wheat and pre-releases the other flavors.) Dump this concoction into a bowl and add the remaining 6 ingredients.

Set your bread machine to White and bake at the medium setting...

Manual -- do the normal knead and rise tricks. Bake at 350 F for 30 ~ 35 minutes. (test this since oven temps. vary) Makes 1 loaf
