Intro: Cracked-wheat bread is a type of whole grain bread made from raw wheat kernels that have been finely ground. This type of bread is generally considered to be healthier than breads made from refined grains, such as white bread, because cracked-wheat bread is higher in fiber and protein. It is also much lower on the glycemic index, and is therefore less likely to contribute to the development of diabetes and heart disease.
Loaves of cracked-wheat bread can be bought in many stores and can also easily be baked at home. Most recipes for cracked-wheat bread contain both cracked wheat, which can be purchased in grocery and health food stores, and whole wheat flour. They also often contain a small amount of honey or molasses, to add sweetness to the bread, as well as a variety of other ingredients that are typical of bread recipes, such as yeast, salt, butter, and honey.
In addition to being healthy, cracked-wheat bread also tastes good. It is usually somewhat dense and has a nutty flavor. Cracked-wheat bread makes a good breakfast when topped with honey or jam. It can also be used to make sandwiches, and is therefore an easy food to incorporate into any meal.
