I was hoping to make TxFarmer's version, with sourdough starter, but ran into "unexpected problems" - had to pick another recipe, as I was set on cracked wheat and absolutely wanted to make a sandwich type bread this past weekend
this recipe turned out excellent, I must make TxFarmer's sourdough soon too...
I include a photo, and you can find the whole recipe and my thoughts of it by jumping here, if interested...
