What it is
This is a loaf of bread made with whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which gives the bread a slightly denser texture and a nuttier flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common pantry staple, often used for sandwiches, toast, and as a side with meals. The loaf is typically sliced for convenience.
