Private Selection 100% Whole Wheat Wide Pan Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made with 100% whole wheat flour. It is baked in a wide pan, which results in slices that are wider and often flatter than those from a standard loaf. The whole wheat flour provides a heartier texture and a distinct nutty flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a good source of carbohydrates for energy.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile staple for many meals. Its wide slices are perfect for building substantial sandwiches.
- Sandwich bread
- Toast
- Breadcrumbs
- French toast
You can use this bread for a variety of culinary applications. For sandwiches, its wide surface area allows for generous fillings. Toasting brings out its nutty aroma and creates a satisfying crunch. It can also be dried and processed into breadcrumbs for coatings and toppings, or cubed and used as a base for savory bread puddings. When making French toast, the slightly denser texture of whole wheat can absorb the egg mixture well.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, this 100% whole wheat version offers a more robust flavor and a chewier texture due to the presence of the entire wheat kernel. The wider pan shape means each slice has more surface area, making it ideal for larger sandwiches.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and hearty bread option for everyday meals will appreciate this loaf.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused portions in its original packaging or a sealed bread bag at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as this can cause the bread to become stale more quickly. Ensure the bag is tightly closed to prevent drying out.
