Whole Grain Bread Recipes

Home > Home Milling > Whole Grain Breads

This section includes a variety of whole grain bread recipes that incorporate a portion of or all whole wheat flour to provide added nutrition and flavor. Spelt, einkorn, emmer, and triticale flour can all be used as substitutes for whole wheat flour in bread-baking recipes, but the flavor will be deeper and richer, and the texture will vary slightly.
