whole wheat flour

Brown bread ingredient

Whole wheat flour is flour milled from the entire wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm, giving it a darker color and denser texture than refined white flour.

Because it retains more of the grain's natural components, it has a nuttier flavor and higher fiber and nutrient content.

Baked goods made with whole wheat flour tend to be heavier and more filling.

I substituted whole wheat flour for half the white flour in the recipe.
