My Whole Wheat Bread (High Fiber)
I have been making this bread for almost twenty years now.
Most labeled Whole Wheat or Whole Grain bread are not "too" whole. It is easy to make at home... you just need some time to let it rise. You won’t find it anywhere!
This bread is heavy for its size. It lasts a week for my husband and I so fourteen slices might have about ten grams of fiber each. Fiber is very important for our diet. Americans don’t consume the necessary amount.
In addition, whole wheat flour has all the nutrients missing in the white flour. If it is too heavy for you, just blend only flour & yeast.
One more thing... I gave up using salt twenty years ago. You can add it if needed.
Ingredients:
4 cups Whole Wheat Flour
2 cups Wheat Bran
1 TB yeast
2 cups of warm water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 285F. Meanwhile, let the yeast to rise. When the yeast is ready, mix it with the flour and bran. Knead it until smooth and shape it for a pound cake container. Cook at 285F for an hour and a half.
It is delicious and nutritious!

Enjoy it!

I love this recipe and plan to try it in the morning. My hubby needs more fiber, so I try to slip it in when I can. Have you ever added anything to it? I've made bread and added in walnuts and flax seeds with good results. I might try that to this recipe sometime in the future.
Thanks - -

Doris, I just make it simple but you can add whatever you want. Some people like it with honey or nuts. Flax seeds are also good because of the Omega 3.
Thank you for your comment! -

You are more than welcome.!Thank you for trying my bread I'm glad you liked it. People don't usually eat that kind of bread. But I find it nutritious. That's the most important thing. I have been making it for almost twenty years now... I fill full after one slice in the morning.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I cook a spinach bread also. It is very nutritious... with whole wheat flour and spinach. If you are looking for fiber, you may have this option as well.
