Shaw's Old Fashioned Multi Grain Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made with a blend of different grains. It has a hearty texture and a slightly nutty flavor. The grains are visible throughout the loaf, giving it a rustic appearance. It is pre-sliced for convenience, making it easy to use for sandwiches or toast. The bread is baked to a golden brown color.
How people cook with it
This multi grain bread is a versatile staple for many meals. It works well for both sweet and savory applications.
- Sandwich base
- Toast for breakfast
- Crouton ingredient
- Bread pudding component
You can enjoy this bread straight from the package. Toasting slices brings out their flavor and creates a crispier texture, perfect for butter or jam. It is also excellent as the foundation for sandwiches, holding up well to various fillings. For a different approach, cubes of the bread can be dried and used to make crunchy croutons for salads or soups. It can also be incorporated into baked dishes like bread pudding.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, this multi grain loaf offers a more substantial bite and a richer flavor profile due to the inclusion of various grains. Its texture is generally denser, and it often has a slightly chewier crust.
Who it is for
Home cooks who appreciate a bread with more texture and flavor will find this a good choice.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, ensure the package is sealed tightly after opening. Store it at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Avoid refrigeration, as this can make the bread stale more quickly. Properly stored, it will maintain its quality for several days.
