Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, the cracked wheat, milk, molasses, shortening and salt.
Beat on low speed until moistened; beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes.

Punch down dough; roll into rectangle, 18x9 inches.
Fold 9-inch sides crosswise into thirds, overlapping ends.
Roll up tightly, beginning at narrow end.
Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal well; press in ends of roll.
Press each end with side of hand to seal; fold ends under.
