CRACKED WHEAT BREAD
I have just finished my second try at cracked wheat bread, both with the same results............fell flat on top while baking. Dissapointment to say the very least.
I am determined to conquer this quest for a nice light cracked wheat bread!
Would anyone have a tried and true recipe. I am using a Bosch Universal Plus if that makes any difference.
The recipe I tried called for 1 cup of milk, 2 1/2 c each of whole wheat and AP flours. Also, 1/4 cup of cracked wheat and 1 1/4 c of boiling water which cooks for 10 minutes then cools. I also used gluten and enhancer and 1 tbsp yeast, 2 tbsp each of honey and molasses and 1 tbsp salt.
I couldn't use the total amount of flour called for or the dough would have been as hard as rock. I used all the w/w and only about 1 1/2 cups AP.
The first rise was great and the second looked good also but then fell on top. To say my frustration level is fast rising would be an understatement.
HELP!
