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, germ, and endosperm. This composition gives the bread a distinct texture and flavor compared to breads made with refined flour. It is a common staple in many households.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile ingredient for everyday meals and snacks. It can be enjoyed in many ways.
- Sandwiches
- Toast
- Breadcrumbs
- French toast
Slice the bread to your desired thickness for sandwiches or toast. For toast, place slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. To make breadcrumbs, let the bread dry out slightly, then process it in a food processor until fine crumbs form. These crumbs are excellent for coating meats or vegetables, or as a binder in dishes. It can also be cubed and used as croutons for salads.
How it differs from similar foods
This results in a denser texture and a nuttier, earthier flavor profile.
Who it is for

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 make the bread stale more quickly. For longer storage, you can freeze the loaf or individual slices.
