How to Make Bread Machine Cracked Wheat Flax Seed Bread

  1. Combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 ½ tsp active dry yeast, and 1 tbsp honey in your bread machine pan.
  2. Add 1 ½ cups cracked wheat, 1 cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp flax seeds, 1 ½ tsp salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil to the bread machine pan.
  3. Select the 'dough' cycle on your bread machine and let it run according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Once the dough cycle is complete, gently remove the dough from the bread machine.
  5. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil spray.
  6. Shape the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 33-38 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, rub the crust with a cold stick of butter for extra flavor and softness.
