<p>Our wholemeal bread recipe is a simple and satisfying bake, and perfect for bakers who are new to making their own bread. It’s soft, airy, and delicious, and perfect for sandwiches - or simply toasted with butter.</p>
<p>With just 7 ingredients and 6 steps in the process, our easy wholemeal bread recipe provides tips for baking success!</p>
<p>Our recipe for making wholemeal bread uses Allinson’s Very Strong Wholemeal as its the ideal bread flour to create a delicious wholemeal dough. Whilst you can substitute white bread flour and wholemeal bread flour like for like when it comes to quantities in a recipe, it is worth noting that wholemeal bread tends to give a slightly denser and moist texture with a little less rise and springiness. This is due to the bran in the flour reducing the effectiveness of the gluten. Nevertheless, we guarantee that you will have a super tasty loaf - evidenced by the 5* reviews from happy bakers.</p>
<h2>How to Store&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Once you've baked your wholemeal bread, it's best to store it by wrapping it in a paper bag, beeswax wrap, clean kitchen towel, plastic bread bag then place in a bread box where it will stay fresh for up to a week at room temperature. Make sure you allow the loaf to cool down completely before storing, as trapping heat will create condensation and lead to soggy bread which could mold quicker. If freezing your loaf, ensure to freeze as soon as possible to keep your bread fresher for longer.</p>
