Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

Yes, freeze after the first rise. Thaw overnight in the fridge before shaping and baking.
How do I store the bread to keep it fresh?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze for long-term storage.
Why didn’t my dough rise?
Check the yeast’s expiration date and ensure the liquid was warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
Can I add seeds or nuts to the dough?
Absolutely! Add sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, or chopped nuts for extra texture and nutrition.
Can I make this bread in a bread machine?
Yes, use the dough cycle for mixing and kneading, then shape and bake in your oven.
Can I use gluten-free flour for this recipe?
Yes, but you’ll need to add a binder like xanthan gum, and the texture will differ from wheat-based bread.
