brown bread

Whole-grain baked good

Brown bread is bread made with whole wheat or other dark flours, giving it a darker color than white bread.

In British rhyming slang, brown bread means dead: He's brown bread, mate.

In parts of New England, brown bread specifically refers to a molasses-sweetened steamed bread traditionally served with baked beans.
