Shaw's 100% Whole Wheat Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel, which gives it a denser texture and a more robust flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common staple food enjoyed by many people for its versatility and satisfying taste.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many everyday meals. It forms the base for countless delicious dishes.
- Sandwiches
- Toast
- Croutons
- Breadcrumbs
You can slice this bread for sandwiches, toast it for breakfast, or use it to make homemade croutons for salads and soups. It can also be dried and processed into breadcrumbs for coating meats and vegetables or as a binder in meatballs and meatloaf. The hearty texture holds up well to various fillings and toppings, making it suitable for both hot and cold preparations.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike white bread, which is made from refined flour, this whole wheat bread retains more of the wheat kernel's natural components. This results in a darker color, a nuttier flavor, and a chewier texture. The presence of the bran and germ contributes to its distinct characteristics.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families often choose this bread for its wholesome qualities and everyday appeal.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread 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 loaf or slices.
