Easy recipe, proportions are correct. Just the right size for a large (2-lb.) machine. I varied the recipe by adding the following: 4 teaspoons of flour gluten, and I used 2 cups of unbleached flour and 1/2 cup of rye flour to produce a delicious light rye version. This recipe is becoming a classic in my family. I've passed it on to others who are also becoming fans.

Wow. Even my Dad and brother loved this bread, who were the ones crinkling their noses at it while I was gathering the ingredients. I used whole oats instead of cracked wheat since I didn't feel like going out in the snowstorm. For the cereal, I used Kashi's 7-grain flakes. I used the 'wheat bread' setting, light crust, which took much longer than 2 1/4 hours but maybe that's just my machine? Tasted absolutely perfect with my homemade butternut squash soup.

This bread rose beautifully and was so light and fluffy inside yet delightfully crispy on the outside. I did make a few changes as mentioned by others - I used oats instead of cracked wheat, olive oil instead of canola and added a 5 seed mix with the flax seed. I also used 1/2of the sugar stated (personal choice, I always do that.) Iused wholewheat flour instead of bread flour too. I would however next time reduce the yeast to 1&1/2 tspns instead of 2tspns as it was a little too yeasty for us. But a wonderful bread!!! Many thanks Moe Heon!!!

I have been making these candy recipes for about five years at Christmas. I experimented until I got them right. You have to hide them or they have a way of disappearing. My favourite cookbooks are "The Best of Bridge" series, they are just great. I am a devoted animal lover, have two cats. I have a new grandson, born in October /01, wonderful~! Recipezaar is a great way to find new things to cook.
