2 1/2 c. warm water
4 tbsp. honey
2 pkgs. yeast
1 tbsp. salt
1/3 c. butter
1/2 c. wheat germ
1/2 c. bran or bran cereal
2 c. cracked wheat flour
About 4 to 5 c. unbleached white flour

NOTE: Wheat germ and bran may be omitted. Just increase the amount of unbleached flour.

Combine all ingredients, except the unbleached flour. Mix in sturdy mixer. Add enough unbleached flour to allow high speed mixing, but not enough to make a stiff dough. Beat for 2-4 minutes at high speed. Using a dough hook, beat in the remainder of the flour to make a stiff dough. (If you don't have a dough hook, knead in enough flour to make a stiff dough).

Continue kneading for 8-10 minutes. Let rise in a warm place until double (2-4 hours). Separate the dough into 2 parts. Roll each (on a floured surface) into a rectangle. Roll up like a jelly roll. Place in a greased glass bread pan. Let rise for 1 hour.

Put in a preheated oven (400 degrees) for 30 minutes. Remove from pan immediately.
