Looking for a recipe for cracked wheat bread...

Does anyone have the old recipe booklet from Fleishmann's Yeast Company? It had a recipe in it for cracked wheat bread, that made 2 loaves or also could be used for dinner rolls.

I had a copy back in the 1980's, but didn't think to grab it after my first marriage ended. If you have it, or a comparable one, would you please post it for me in the next couple of days? I need to make rolls for Turkey Day, and that is probably the best I ever made.

I've heard the Tassajara Bread Book is pretty good, and it dates from the same time frame.

Robert this might not be THE one, but it is ONE.

I happen to own a couple of old Fleischmann yeast cookbooks. One of them has:

Cracked Wheat Bread (makes 2 loaves)

4-3/4 to 5-3/4 cups flour
3 Tbs sugar
4 tsp salt
2 pkg yeast
1-1/2 cups water

3 Tbs margarine
1 cup cracked wheat

Condensed instructions:

Large bowl: mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast.

Combine water, milk and margarine in saucepan. Low heat til liquid is warm (120-130F).

Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 min med speed. Add cracked wheat; beat high speed 2 min. Stir in addnl flour to make soft dough.

Knead by hand til elastic, 8-10 min. Cover. Rise til doubled--abt 1 hr.

Punch down dough. Let rest on board 15 min. Divide in half. Roll each half to 12x8 in rectangle. Shape into loaves. Place in greased loaf pans.
