Everyday Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread
A great everyday sandwich bread for anyone wanting to add a bit of whole wheat to their diet.
This bread has become my everyday sandwich bread. It’s about 40% whole wheat and hits the sweet spot with my white-bread-loving family. It’s still white enough to satisfy their tastes but sneaks in a good amount of whole wheat flour to satisfy me :)
