In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of warm water with the yeast. Add 1/2 cup bread flour and mix to form a thick batter. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 30 minutes while the cracked wheat cools. With the mixer running on low, add the cooled cracked wheat along with the soaking water. Add the salt, honey and whole wheat flour. Mix to combine.

If using a stand mixer, switch to the dough hook. Add the remaining bread flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough gathers around the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl. If working by hand mix in as much flour as you can then turn the dough out onto a floured surface and finish kneading in the flour by hand. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes. Form the dough into a smooth ball

Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, turn once to coat the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. At this point the dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead for 5-10 seconds. Form the dough into a ball then roll the ends gently to form a football shape. If you will be using a baking stone, set the loaf on a wooden peel sprinkled heavily with cornmeal. If you don't have a baking stone put the loaf on a sheet pan sprinkled heavily with cornmeal or lined with parchment paper.

Cover the loaf with plastic wrap that has been lightly oiled or sprayed with baking spray to prevent it from sticking to the dough. Allow the loaf to rise about 1 - 1 1/2 hours until doubled in sized and the dough springs back slowly when poked. If the dough was cold from the refrigerator it may take longer to rise.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450°F, place a baking stone in the oven to preheat if you have one. Place a small pan (with rocks if you have them) onto the floor of the oven.

When the bread is ready, use a thin, sharp knife or single edge razor to slash 5 diagonal cuts across the top of the loaf. Brush the surface of the bread with egg wash and sprinkle with cracked wheat and pepitas. Slide the loaf onto the preheated baking stone (or slide the sheet pan into the oven)

Bake until the loaf is nicely browned and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom (or the center of the loaf reaches 190°F), about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Pre cooking

Step 3

After soaking lentils, discard and wash lentils to rid any excess sediment

Step 4

Place lentils in a large pot with water, bring to boil

Step 5

Cover the pot of lentils and simmer over low heat about 10 minutes or until lentils are par cooked.

Step 6

Drain par cooked lentils in a colander and save liquid. You will use this later

Step 7

Sep 8

Cook the onions for about 30-40 minutes, stirring every few minutes until they are dark golden brown. (You&#x27;ll need to be patient for this step - the onions must be like this as the dish relies on the taste of the caramelised onion)

Step 9

Once onions are a dark golden colour, pour the liquid from the lentils into the onions and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to combine.

Step 10

Add the cooked lentils, salt (to taste) and cracked wheat (bulgur), stir through thoroughly.

Step 11

Cover the saucepan and cook over very low heat for 25-30 minutes.
