Morphology
cracked-wheat + bread
The phrase is compositionally built: 'cracked' (broken into pieces) + 'wheat' (the grain) modifying 'bread', so the meaning 'bread made with cracked wheat' is directly inferable from its parts. This follows common noun-modifier patterns in English (e.g. 'wheat bread', 'whole-wheat bread'), so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would understand it.
Etymology
Cracked-wheat bread gets its name from the wheat used, because bakers break the grain into small pieces, cracked wheat, instead of grinding it very fine. Those small pieces stay in the loaf and make it nutty and more textured, so the name shows the bread's hearty feel.
