What is Whole Wheat Bread?


There are several different varieties of bread that are sold in the market today. Among them, whole wheat bread or atta bread is a type that is specially prepared with whole wheat flour. This can be compared to the common white bread, which is made from refined flour or maida. The whole wheat flour bread retains a nutty and sweet flavour due to the grain. It is darker than white bread and denser in texture. A freshly made wheat bread can be enjoyed with a slather of butter, but it also pairs beautifully with diverse toppings, as sandwiches or even accompaniments to curries and pasta.

Cooking tips for Whole Wheat Bread

 

  • A common issue with baking a loaf of bread is kneading time. A trick to avoid this confusion is to knead the wholegrain bread just until it turns smooth and fluffy. 

 

 

  • You can always reduce the kneading time and add more water if you find the dough denser than usual. 

 

 

  • While proofing the atta bread dough, make sure you set it in a warm environment; this allows it to rise nicely. 

 

And just like that, with a few simple ingredients, which you may easily find in your home, you can create this soft and flavourful whole wheat bread. Let this whole wheat bread recipe act as a guide for experimentation with new flavours and textures. Rolled oats, dried fruits like walnuts, almonds and cranberries can add a touch of sweetness, giving more personality and vibrancy to your freshly baked wholemeal wheat bread.
