100% Whole Wheat Sandwich 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 denser texture and a heartier flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common staple for everyday meals and snacks.
How people cook with it
This versatile bread is a foundation for countless meals. It is ideal for both simple and elaborate preparations.
- Sandwiches
- Toast
- French toast
- Breadcrumbs
Slice the bread to your desired thickness for sandwiches, toast, or French toast. It can be lightly toasted for a crispier texture or used as is. For breadcrumbs, allow slices to dry out slightly, then process in a food processor or crumble by hand. These breadcrumbs are excellent for coating foods before frying or baking, or as a binder in meatballs and casseroles. It also makes a sturdy base for open-faced sandwiches.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike white bread, which is made from refined flour with the bran and germ removed, 100% whole wheat bread retains these components. This results in a darker color, a more robust flavor, and a chewier texture. The presence of the entire wheat kernel contributes to its distinct characteristics.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families looking for a foundational bread product for daily consumption.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused portions in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or an airtight container. For longer storage, the loaf can be frozen. Slices can be separated before freezing for easier access.
