Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in cracked wheat and simmer for 10 minutes; let cool to lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the cracked wheat mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the butter, salt, molasses, honey, milk, yeast mixture, whole wheat flour and 2 cups of the bread flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped on top and bottom. Cool on racks.

'CRACKED WHEAT' BREAD
When I began my career as a cook, I made hearty loaves like these every week. Now that we have so many bakeries producing good breads, I don't really need to bake as often, but I've never gotten bread quite like this grainy loaf in a bakery. Make it on a weekend when you're at home for a while. There's only about 15 minutes of active work, but the bread requires several rises. Although I call it cracked wheat bread, I use bulgur, which makes a lighter, moister bread than cracked wheat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast and water, and stir until dissolved. Stir in the honey and molasses. Whisk in the bulgur, then whisk in the flours a cup at a time. Stir or whisk this mixture a hundred times for about two minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, cover the bowl tightly with plastic, and leave to rise in a warm spot for one hour until bubbly.
- Add the oil to the sponge and fold in, using a large spoon or spatula. Add the salt and fold in. Fold in 1 cup of whole wheat flour. Place some of the second cup of flour on your work surface, and scrape the dough onto it. Use a paddle to help fold the dough over to knead until it has absorbed the flour on the work surface. Flour your hands and your work surface, and knead the dough for 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary, until the dough is elastic and springs back when you press it with your finger. It will be dense and slightly tacky. Shape the dough into a ball. Rinse and dry your bowl, and coat with oil. Place the dough in it, then flip it over so that it is coated with oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and set in a warm spot to rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Punch down the dough again, cover the bowl and allow to rise for another hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Divide the dough in two and shape into loaves. Oil two 9 x 5-inch bread pans, and place the loaves in the pans, seam side up first, then seam side down. Cover with a damp towel, and allow to rise for 30 minutes or until the middle of the loaves rises above the edges of the pans.
- Gently brush the loaves with egg wash and, using a sharp knife, cut two or three 1/2-inch deep slashes across the top of each loaf. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, brushing again halfway through with egg wash. The bread is done when it is golden brown and responds to tapping with a hollow sound. Remove from the pans, and cool on a rack.

Tips:
- Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your bread a tangy flavor and help it rise properly.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place, about 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit, for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: Bake the bread at a high temperature, 400 degrees Fahrenheit, for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Cracked wheat buttermilk bread is a delicious and healthy bread that is easy to make. This bread is a good source of fiber and protein, and it has a slightly tangy flavor. Cracked wheat buttermilk bread can be enjoyed on its own, or it can be used to make sandwiches, toast, or croutons.
