Cracked Wheat Bread (Bread Machine)

I got most of my kitchen appliances either for Christmas my senior year in high school, for wedding presents, or with the money we got at our wedding. There were just a few that I didn't get, and I'd been wanting, but didn't really want to spend the money. For Christmas this year, my mom bought me this bread machine (pictured below), a food processor, and a steamer that stacks three levels high (great for veggies, fish, and shell fish)!



I hadn't had a chance to use the bread machine until this weekend. My husband takes sandwiches for lunch every day, and his favorite bread is cracked wheat. I did a search of bread machine breads online, and came up with quite a few, including this one!

1 & 1/4 cups water
3 cups bread flour (all purpose works as well)
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup cracked wheat
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp dry milk powder
1 & 1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 & 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

• Place ingredients in pan of bread machine in order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Select regular/light cycle and press start.
