Private Selection 100% Whole Wheat Wide Pan Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made entirely from whole wheat flour. The wide pan shape means the slices are larger and often a bit thicker than standard sandwich bread. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, contributing a heartier texture and a distinct flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is baked to a soft yet sturdy consistency, suitable for a variety of culinary applications.

This bread can be used in many ways. It is excellent for making sandwiches, whether filled with deli meats, cheese, or vegetables. Toasting slices brings out its nutty flavor and creates a crisp texture, perfect for breakfast or as a base for avocado or eggs. It can also be cubed and used to make croutons for salads or soups. Leftover pieces can be dried and ground into breadcrumbs for coating or binding.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, this whole wheat version offers a denser crumb and a more robust, slightly earthy taste due to the inclusion of the entire wheat kernel. The wider slices provide more surface area for toppings and fillings, making them ideal for larger sandwiches.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining bread in its original packaging or an airtight bag at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the bread to become stale more quickly. For longer storage, the loaf can be frozen.
