Wholemeal Block Loaf

Wholemeal bread is baked using the whole grain of the wheat, which means it keeps all the natural fibre, vitamins and minerals that are found in the outer layers and germ of the grain. White bread, on the other hand, is baked from refined flour, where those outer layers have been removed. The result is that wholemeal has a heartier texture, a slightly nuttier flavour, and more dietary fibre to help keep you feeling fuller for longer. It's a great choice if you're after something a bit more substantial.

To keep your Wholemeal Block Loaf fresh, store it at room temperature in a plastic bag, bread bag, or well-ventilated bread bin. This stops the bread from drying out and helps it stay soft for several days. If you're not going to finish the loaf within a few days, you can freeze it for up to four months. Just pop it in a freezer bag, squeeze out as much air as you can, and seal it up. When you're ready to use it, let it thaw naturally in the packaging, or wrap a slice in a paper towel and microwave it on high in 10-second bursts until it's soft.

Our Wholemeal Block Loaf is incredibly versatile. Toast it for a quick and easy brekky, use it for sandwiches packed with your favourite fillings, or turn it into soldiers for dippy eggs. It's also brilliant for making French toast on a lazy weekend morning, or as the base for bruschetta when you're entertaining. The hearty texture means it holds up well to heavier toppings and spreads, so you can pile on the avocado, peanut butter, or whatever else takes your fancy. It's an everyday staple that works for just about any meal.
