About Whole Wheat Bread

Whole wheat bread is made using wholemeal flour, yeast, honey and water. Sometimes eggs or other ingredients are used. I am sharing three version of whole wheat bread in this post.

You all know my love for baking bread at home from my array of bread post in my blog. So far i have tried 100% Whole Wheat Bread, White Bread, Multi Grain Bread. And i went a little fancy and made a Homemade Panettone & Focaccia Bread. So far everything turned out so beautiful and they all been my favorite ones.

100% Brown Bread with no Maida

Whole Wheat Bread are my absolute favourite. But store bought breads have maida in them and they are never made with whole wheat flour. I already have a wheat bread recipe, but this is another version which is more fluffier than that..

I have tried so many bread recipes so far. This is a wheat bread which i made few weeks back, i used eggs in them. The texture of the bread was so perfect. It was soft inside and has a perfect crust.

I wanted to bake a 100% whole wheat bread using wheat gluten.. I have heard that gluten makes the wheat bread so soft and guess what it did. This is the best whole wheat bread ever. So I recommend everyone to try this out for sure.

This bread was my experiment, i just measured my own ingredients and baked this. Just look at those texture, very porous and spongy like. It turned out to be perfection. Now this recipe is going to be in my repitore. Going to enjoy this for a few days.This is so easy to make as well and it makes the perfect toast or taste just delicious when spread with some jam or preserves over it when sliced fresh from the loaf.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

Whole Wheat Bread with Milk

Since we have started dieting, we have been trying to eat healthy and low fat dishes. One of my all time life saver is wheat bread. We enjoy it during morning, it is perfect. But in my place, the bread which we get as brown bread or wheat bread has all purpose flour added in them to make it soft. So we are kind of staying away from it.

How to Make Healthy Wholemeal Bread

Now coming to the recipe of the day. It is a healthy one which many of you must have never thought of making this at home..Yes it is a very very healthy whole wheat bread with no addition of maida (all purpose flour) to it. You might think that now we can find so many wheat breads out in the markets, why would spend time making it at home. But let me tell you a secret.

The bread which you find in store have some maida added to it. I am not talking about the specially made bread which you find in big supermarkets. But most of them have maida added to it. So if you want a healthier option and need a good whole wheat bread them try this out..

I have made so many version of bread in my blog, so far this is the best whole wheat bread i have ever made. It is sturdy enough, slices perfectly and has a great texture and flavour to it. I specially love this bread when it is toasted, used this in my avocado toast recipe.

This was a very huge loaf of bread which was enough for our whole family for a week. We have one slice of bread which we toast in a toaster and spread some jams or any toppings and have it.

Since it is a huge slice, only one is enough for us and it makes us pretty full. I would suggest eating this for breakfast along with some fruits and a glass of milk. Sure that it is a healthy option than having regular white bread.
