It seems that we are regularly being told we don't eat enough wholegrain - and this is an excellent way of adding extra to your diet (after all, wholegrain is good at reducing cholesterol too). I found brown bread a slightly trickier customer than white bread in terms of baking it... It takes more water than the recipe says sometimes, and can benefit from extra time kneading I reckon... Unpredictability and additional kneading aside, this bread is always much much tastier than shop bought bread; so even disasters are usually happy ones!
I use a varying mixture of both flours depending on exactly how brown a loaf I fancy (50/50 is good, a bit like the homegrown version of Mighty White loaves but much nicer… how old am I?)
Give it a good stir before turning out onto the counter and kneading for 15 minutes. Without sounding nauseating, try and enjoy the kneading rather than look on it as a hassle; I’m sure you can taste the difference in bread that results…

In an hour the dough should have risen – give it a quick knead again, and this time put into your loaf tin lined with greaseproof paper. Leave to rise for an hour again, covered with a tea towel
Pre-heat your oven to 240˚c – put the bread in and (carefully) throw a mug of water into the oven to create some steam (try to avoid throwing the water directly over the bread… although I have done this, and it wasn’t a total disaster). After 15 minutes, turn the temperature down to 200˚c and put the timer on for 30 – 35 minutes by which point the bread should be done (should sound hollow when you give it a knock on the bottom of the loaf)
Leave for at least half an hour before trying to cut the loaf. This brown bread is especially lovely with cold chicken sandwiches – also strawberry jam (the Tiptree kind) but not at the same timeHaving high cholesterol doesn't automatically mean you have to give up bread entirely (unless your health care provider says so); however, it might mean switching to a healthier type of bread. Here are some of the best breads for high cholesterol and a low-cholesterol bread recipe you can try.

USDA ChooseMyPlate explains that bread is a grain product that is made of either whole grains or refined grains. The grain used is typically wheat, although rye, oats, barley and millet are some of the other grains that are also used to make bread.
Unless the bread you buy is labeled as a whole-grain product, chances are that it's made of refined grains. USDA ChooseMyPlate notes that refining grains increases their shelf life and gives them a finer texture, but it also strips them of their fiber and other naturally occurring nutrients like iron and B vitamins. Enriched grains are refined grains that have some of the nutrients added back; however, the fiber is not added back.
Why should you care about fiber? The American Heart Association (AHA) explains that eating a diet rich in dietary fiber can help improve your cholesterol levels and lower your risk of health conditions like stroke, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Which Types Of Bread Are Best For Lowering Cholesterol?
To help you meet your fiber requirements, the AHA recommends that at least half the grains in your diet be whole grains and that you include as many different grains in your diet as you can so that you benefit from their varied nutrition content.
So, where does that leave you on the best breads for high cholesterol? Well, for starters, skip the white bread and try to buy only breads that are made with whole grains. If you can't tell whether a bread is made of whole grains or not, the AHA suggests looking at the nutrition label; the first ingredient listed on a whole-grain product usually contains the words whole or whole grain.
You can also try making breads with different types of whole grains apart from wheat, like oat or flaxseed bread. A small study (60 patients), published in the September 2014 issue of the journal

, found that eating oat bread helped lower cholesterol levels in patients with high cholesterol. Another small study (17 subjects), published in the journal
Another option is to use vegetables as a substitute for the flour in your bread, since vegetables are also rich in fiber and have a number of other nutrients as well.
If you're willing to bake your own bread and are open to the idea of substituting the flour in your bread with vegetables, try our Cauliflower Bread recipe. A low cholesterol bread recipe, it substitutes cauliflower for flour. Per the USDA, cauliflower offers not only fiber but also vitamin C.
