100% Whole Wheat Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes all parts of the wheat kernel: the bran, the germ, and the endosperm. This composition contributes to its characteristic texture and flavor. It is a common staple in many households and is often chosen for its wholesome qualities.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways throughout the day.
- Sandwich base

You can use this bread to create a wide variety of dishes. For sandwiches, simply layer your favorite fillings between two slices. It toasts beautifully, offering a satisfying crunch and a warm, nutty flavor. You can also process leftover slices into breadcrumbs, which are excellent for coating meats or vegetables, or as a topping for casseroles. For a delightful breakfast or brunch option, it makes excellent French toast when dipped in an egg mixture and pan-fried.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike white bread, which is made from refined flour, this 100% whole wheat bread retains the entire wheat kernel. This means it has a denser texture and a more robust, slightly earthy flavor. The presence of the bran and germ also gives it a darker color compared to white bread.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a foundational bread for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in its original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as this can cause the bread to dry out more quickly. If you will not consume the entire loaf within a few days, consider freezing slices for later use.
