Wonder Bread Recipe

If you were to ask anyone who grew up eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (and are of a certain age) what their favorite bread used to be, I bet they would answer Wonder Bread. It was soft, airy, white, and slightly sweet. Even if you weren't allowed to have Wonder Bread in your house, you might have been jealous of your friends who were.

I grew up in a household that did not have Wonder Bread. Instead, we had Weber's Bread. Weber's Bread was another white bread (they also had a version with a little bit of whole wheat in it). I remember people being passionate about what their favorite white bread was and swearing that there definitely was a difference.

I do remember an iconic sign in Los Angeles over the Weber's factory. Maybe my mom preferred Weber's because it was based in Southern California. More likely, it was because it was less expensive because the bakery was local.

Eventually, both the Weber's and Wonder Bread brands were bought and sold and bought and sold again, and they even, at one point, were owned by the same company that went bankrupt. I think even the federal government got involved because one company was baking two white breads, as if it was an antitrust case.

Either way, one of the secret ways I loved eating store bought white bread as a kid was to butter it, roll it in all of its softness into a ball to create what we called dough, and then eat it.

While my favorite and fail-safe way to make unabashedly soft white bread is the Japanese milk bread method, I thought it would be fun to try to recreate the flavors of Wonder Bread.

I turned to Stella Parks, and her book Bravetart: Iconic American Desserts. I love the book, and I definitely want to try her homemade Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes.

Like Japanese milk bread, this bread recipe also includes using a tangzhong, which is a mixture of cooked water and/or milk with flour. It creates a gelatinized flour that holds onto moisture to create steam inside the dough while baking in the oven so that the bread bakes up soft and light.

In addition to the tangzhong, this recipe includes some interesting ingredients, including malted milk powder and coconut oil. I think the malted milk powder is to compensate for the fact that barley malt, that is often used as a flavoring in breads, is not readily available to home bakers.

While this bread was not as soft as I had hoped, the flavor was wonderful. The bread made delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as well as grilled cheese. Plus, it made wonderful toast with butter and jam.

While I used unbleached all purpose flour, I suspect that using bleached all purpose flour such as Gold Medal will yield softer and whiter white bread results.

Wonder Bread Stuffing — Wonder Bread

Wonder Bread holds an esteemed position as an iconic staple in American households, with a history that intertwines with the nation’s culinary landscape. I will tell you the fascinating history of Wonder Bread and the health considerations associated with its consumption. Additionally, I compare Wonder Bread to the diverse and artisanal bread culture prevalent in Europe.

Wonder Bread originates in the United States in 1921 and was one of the first to be sold pre-sliced nationwide in 1930. The brand is currently owned by Flowers Foods in the United States.

The Taggart Baking Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, began producing Wonder Bread which debuted on May 21, 1921, following a blind promotion with ads that only stated a “Wonder” was coming on that date. The brand was named by the vice president for merchandising development Elmer Cline, who was inspired by the International Balloon Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Cline was filled with “wonder” by the scene of hundreds of balloons creating a kaleidoscope of color, resulting in the iconic red, yellow, and blue balloons featured on the Wonder Bread logo.

Wonder Bread quickly became a popular choice for American families. It was seen as a symbol of progress and modernity, and its white color and soft texture made it appealing to children. The company also invested heavily in marketing, and Wonder Bread soon became one of the most recognizable brands in the country.

In recent years, Wonder Bread has faced increasing competition from other brands of bread, as well as from healthier alternatives like whole wheat bread. The company has also been criticized for its use of artificial ingredients and preservatives. As a result, sales of Wonder Bread have declined in recent years.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Wonder Bread. The company has made some efforts to appeal to health-conscious consumers, but it remains to be seen whether these efforts will be enough to reverse the decline in sales. Only time will tell whether Wonder Bread can maintain its status as a beloved American icon.
