How to Make 100 Honey Whole Wheat Cracked Wheat Bread

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons quick-rise yeast, and 2 tablespoons honey. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup cracked wheat, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup honey. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
3. Gradually add 2-3 cups more whole wheat flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 3 equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place in greased 9x5 inch loaf pans.
6. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes, or until almost doubled.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
