If you love the idea of baking homemade bread but are put off by all the hands on time it takes then you've come to the right place.
Swedish Wholegrain Bread
My Easy Wholemeal Bread recipe takes literally minutes to prepare, there is no kneading involved at all and proving and baking happens as you get on with other stuff. Make sure you set a timer though, as it's so easy to lose track of time.
I've always loved crusty breads the most and this one has got a lovely golden crust with a bit of crunch. If you prefer softer crust you can simply cover your freshly baked bread gently with a clean tea towel as it cools which will makes it softer.
No you don't. I've baked this bread numerous times using just plain white and plain wholemeal (whole wheat) flours and the results are the same as when I've used strong (bread flours).

You can be pretty brave and mix and match your flours here but I would advise you to keep to 50/50 ratio of white to wholemeal/whole wheat flour for the best results and nice, light crumb.
As with any homemade bread and because of the lack of preservatives it is the best on the day you bake it.
My recommendation would be to eat it fresh on the day you bake it and perhaps the following day and toast it after that. I must say I like to eat my sandwiches toasted anyway so I usually only eat it it fresh when still warm on the day I bake it.

If you don't eat a lot of bread you can easily freeze it. Simply let it cool completely, slice it and pop into freezer safe bag until you need it. To defrost simply take it out onto the kitchen counter where it should thaw in an hour or so, usually less than that. Alternatively, you can simply toast it from frozen until thawed and nicely crisped up.
We love it fresh or toasted for breakfast with the variety of spreads like lemon curd, homemade orange marmalade or this plum and chocolate spread.
For lunch it will make a delicious sandwich with whatever filling you fancy. How about some wild garlic hummus or vegan egg salad? It will also make delicious addition to any soup. Some of my favourites are:

Have you tried my Easy Wholemeal Bread Recipe? Leave a comment and rating at the bottom of this post, I love reading them!With step-by-step pictures and plenty of helpful tips, learn how to make soft whole wheat bread with this easy-to-follow recipe. You can make this bread 100% whole wheat, or you can use a combination of whole wheat and bread flour for a slightly taller, fluffier loaf. It’s wonderfully soft and flavorful either way! If you’re new to working with yeast, reference my Baking with Yeast Guidefor answers to common yeast FAQs.
I know there’s major convenience with store-bought bread, but I encourage you to try making it from scratch at least once. (You might be hooked after that!) This whole wheat bread takes a few hours, but most of the work is hands-off while the dough rises. Fresh-baked bread smells incredible and tastes even better—store-bought sandwich bread just can’t compare! Wait until you smell a slice popping up in the toaster.
The Best Way To Make Softer And Fluffier Whole Wheat Bread
I experienced both issues in my initial attempts at this recipe. I found that adding a little acid to the dough helped offset the bitterness, and introducing a preferment “sponge” helped give the loaves better flavor, as well as more height. Obviously whole wheat bread will never be as soft, tender, and chewy as white sandwich bread, but this one comes pretty close with my careful recipe & solutions.
For the sponge, you’ll use all of the liquid (both the water and milk) and yeast in the dough, plus some of the flour. Mix this all together with a spatula, cover it lightly, and let it double in size for about 60 to 90 minutes.
While this step does extend the total time of the recipe, the sponge is crucial for producing a more complex flavor, and gives the bread a lighter texture. By skipping this step, your bread will be a little flat. (In taste

Once the sponge doubles in size, add the remaining ingredients and begin mixing, which will deflate the air and make way for the final dough.
At this point, the process follows my sandwich bread pretty closely. You’ll knead the dough, and if you’re new to bread baking, my how to knead dough post and video can help. After kneading, let the dough rise twice. Lesson you’ll learn today: making a delicious whole wheat bread is not a race. We must have some patience here! (A hard ask when homemade bread is the reward…)
Make the dough: I recommend using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment (most stand mixers are sold with it). If you don’t have a stand mixer, mix the dough together with a spatula or wooden spoon (and a little arm muscle!).
Whole Wheat Sourdough Discard Sandwich Bread
1st rise (about 2 hours): After you knead the dough, cover it and let it rise in a relatively warm spot. Whole wheat dough requires a slightly longer rise time than white sandwich bread because it’s weighed down with wheat germ and bran.
Roll it up tightly starting with the 8-inch side, so you have an 8-inch roll to fit into your greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. (Unlike cinnamon rolls, where you roll up the dough starting with the larger side.)
2nd rise (about 1 hour): Let it rise until it’s about an inch above the rim of the pan. Don’t rush this second rise, unless you want a flat loaf.
Irish Brown Bread — Hungry Enough To Eat Six
Before baking, feel free to top the bread with oats. You’ll need to brush beaten egg white on top of the dough before adding the oats, so they stick. The oat topping is optional.
This whole wheat bread is phenomenal when sliced and served warm. The exterior is crisp and crusty, and the interior is hearty, yet soft.
You need just 8 simple ingredients to make this whole wheat sandwich bread. It’s soft yet hearty and oh-so-flavorful, and store-bought sandwich bread just doesn’t compare! You can use 100% whole wheat flour, or you can swap in some bread flour for a taller, fluffier loaf. See recipe Notes for freezing and overnight instructions.

So now I can feel all wholesome and earth-motherish. Well, at least I would if I had some kiddos other than my two cat babies.
And ‘eating clean’ is quite the popular phrase in diet culture. But depending on which diet camp you’ve found yourself, ‘clean’ can have vastly different meanings. Like for some it means eating plenty of meat but cutting out grains and processed foods. And of course that is not at all what it means in the vegan community.
Traditional Wholemeal Bread
But anyway, I am not a fan of labelling foods like this because it’s a value judgement, like ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Which some can take to extremes and it can lead to eating disorders (not good).
But that being said, lately it can be hard to find a loaf of bread in the store that doesn’t have a heap of junk in it. There is one particular loaf of wholewheat bread that I bought, and we just didn’t get around to eating it (or throwing it out).
However, it was just as perfectly fresh 3 weeks after purchase as it was on the day I brought it home from the store. Hmmm.
