When you bake home made whole wheat bread recipe, you're giving your family a wholesome, healthy nutritious food. Better yet, its not only good FOR You, it tastes good!  Whether you toast it, slice it for sandwiches or dip it in soup, you cannot go wrong with this bread.

White flour is made from wheat that has had the bran removed. The bran is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. Whole wheat flour is made from the whole wheat kernel, so you're getting the added benefit of the bran.

Researchers believe that eating foods made from whole wheat may play a role in preventing many diseases, including cancer, hear disease, constipation and diverticulosis.

 But don't tell the kids its good for them. You know what that will do!
