Whole Wheat Bread, 24 oz
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made primarily from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel, which contributes to its denser texture and nutty flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common staple food, baked into a loaf for slicing and consumption.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile ingredient for many meals and snacks. It can be enjoyed simply on its own or as a base for various culinary creations.
- Sandwich base
- Toast for breakfast
- Crouton ingredient
- Bread pudding component
Slice the bread to your desired thickness for sandwiches or toast. For toast, place slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. It can also be cubed and used in recipes like stuffing or bread pudding. When making croutons, cut the bread into bite-sized pieces, toss with oil and seasonings, and bake until crisp. Leftover bread can be dried out and ground into breadcrumbs for coatings or binders.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, whole wheat bread has a darker color and a more robust, slightly chewy texture due to the presence of the entire wheat kernel. Its flavor is also more pronounced, offering a distinct nutty undertone that complements savory and sweet toppings alike.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining bread in its original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the bread to become stale more quickly. For longer storage, the loaf can be frozen, sliced before freezing for easier thawing.
