What it is
This is a loaf of whole wheat bread. It is made with whole wheat flour, which includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel. This gives the bread a denser texture and a slightly nutty flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common staple for sandwiches and toast.
