Private Selection 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 gives the bread a denser texture and a heartier flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common staple in many households for daily meals and snacks.
How people cook with it
This bread is versatile and can be used in many ways throughout the day. It is a good base for both simple and elaborate preparations.
- Sandwich base
- Toast for breakfast
- Crouton ingredient
- Bread pudding component
You can slice this bread for sandwiches, layering your favorite fillings between two pieces. It also toasts very well, providing a satisfying crunch and warm base for butter, jam, or avocado. For a more involved dish, it can be cubed and dried to make croutons for salads or soups. Additionally, stale slices can be used to absorb liquids and flavors in dishes like bread pudding or French toast casserole, adding a wholesome texture and taste.
How it differs from similar foods
This results in a darker color, a more robust flavor, and a slightly chewier texture. The bran and germ contribute to its distinct taste and mouthfeel.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a wholesome option for everyday meals and baking.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining loaf fresh, store it in its original packaging at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as this can cause the bread to dry out more quickly. For longer storage, you can freeze the bread, either whole or in slices, and thaw as needed.
