This is an old recipe that I got when I was in 4-H. Its easy for yeast dough, no kneading. And yet it makes a delicious dinner roll. Using cracked wheat adds great nutritional value. PLEASE NOTE: Prep time includes rising time. Cracked wheat cereal is sold by many cereal companies, including Bob's Red Mill, Hodgson Mill and several others. I recently found it at our local Kroger's. It is available online and at health food stores. Cracked wheat is low in fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar yet has all the nuitrition of the whole grain, including the wheat germ.
