Recently I tried the Scottish Toasting Oat Yeast Bread Mix from King Arthur flour. As you can see, the bread turned out fine. However I didn’t like it. The reason? It was the oat berries.
Do you see the little white bits in the photo? They were hard and crunchy. Their consistency was about the same as Grape-Nuts cereal. The flavor of the bread was hearty and pleasant, I just didn’t enjoy the crunchiness.

I tried adding a cup up Bob’s Red Mill Cracked wheat (bulger) to a bread machine recipe same type of thing a little to crunchy. Should I have soffended the cracked wheat in water first?

Hi Rob, I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve heard that soaking the cracked wheat for an hour in hot water will do the trick. If you try this let me know how it goes.
