Whole Wheat Bread Loaf
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made primarily from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the entire wheat kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm. This gives the bread a denser texture and a slightly nutty flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common pantry staple enjoyed by many for its versatility and satisfying nature.
How people cook with it
