Whole Wheat Bread Recipes

Whole wheat bread is a hearty, nutty staple made with whole grain wheat flour, giving it more texture and depth than standard white bread. It works well in both quick meals and cooked recipes because it can be toasted, layered, cubed, crumbled, or soaked.

Use it for classic sandwiches, avocado toast, grilled cheese, breakfast egg bakes, savory strata, homemade croutons, stuffing, and bread pudding. Its mild sweetness pairs especially well with eggs, cheese, roasted vegetables, turkey, tuna, peanut butter, honey, and fresh fruit.

For the best texture in recipes, choose slices that match the dish: soft bread for sandwiches and French toast, sturdy seeded loaves for melts and tartines, and slightly stale slices for breadcrumbs, croutons, or casseroles.
