Lewis Bakeries 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 bread made with refined flour. It is a common staple for sandwiches and toast.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile ingredient in many kitchens. It can be enjoyed simply or as a base for more complex dishes.
- Sandwich base
- Breakfast toast
- Breadcrumbs
- French toast
Slice the bread for sandwiches, layering your favorite fillings between two pieces. For toast, place slices in a toaster until golden brown and serve with butter, jam, or avocado. Leftover bread can be cubed and dried to make homemade breadcrumbs, perfect for coating meats or vegetables. It also makes an excellent base for French toast when soaked in an egg and milk mixture and then fried.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike white bread, which is made from refined flour, this 100% whole wheat bread retains the natural components of the wheat kernel. This results in a denser texture and a nuttier, more robust flavor profile. It is often perceived as a heartier option.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families looking for a common bread option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in its original packaging at room temperature. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent air exposure, which can lead to staleness. For longer storage, you can freeze the loaf or slices.
