100 Whole Wheat Bread Low Fat And Good

Description

This recipe yields 3 hearty loaves of bread

here is what i love about this recipe. It's simple, uses few ingredients and you have great results every time. Don't be afraid of making this bread!

This is my own take on a recipe my sister-in-law shared with me. I played around with using different ingredients and have found that for a heartier loaf (perfect as a side to a homey soup) you can add oats. Also, ground flaxseed makes a healthy addition of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as an extra dose of fiber. This bread is not too dense, but comes out soft enough for sandwiches and freezes extremely well. It makes awesome toast for any toast lovers too!
