Vermont Bread Company Soft Honey Cracked Wheat Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of soft bread made with cracked wheat and sweetened with honey. The wheat is processed to break the grains into smaller pieces, which contributes to the bread's texture. The addition of honey provides a subtle sweetness and helps with browning during baking. It is a ready-to-eat baked good, typically sold pre-sliced.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile staple for many meals. It can be enjoyed simply on its own or as a base for various toppings and preparations.
- Sandwich base
- Toast accompaniment
- Bread pudding ingredient
- Side for soup
This bread is ready to eat straight from the package. For a warm and inviting experience, it can be toasted in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. It is also excellent for making sandwiches, where its soft texture complements fillings. When preparing dishes like bread pudding or French toast, the bread can be torn or cubed and soaked in liquid mixtures. It can also be used as a base for appetizers or served alongside stews and chilis.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to breads made with finely milled white flour, cracked wheat bread has a more rustic texture due to the presence of broken wheat grains. The honey also imparts a distinct sweetness and a slightly chewier crust than some other wheat breads.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families looking for a soft, slightly sweet bread option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep any remaining bread in its original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or excessive heat. For longer storage, it can be frozen, and then thawed before use.
