Split Top Wheat Enriched Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made with enriched wheat flour. The split-top style means the loaf is scored before baking, allowing it to expand evenly in the oven. The enrichment process adds back certain nutrients that may be lost during milling. It has a soft texture and a mild flavor, making it a versatile pantry staple for everyday meals.

This bread is also excellent for French toast, soaking up egg mixtures before frying.
