whole-wheat bread

Whole wheat bread is made using meal from the entire wheat kernel, unlike white bread which uses refined flour. This results in a denser, darker product. Whole wheat flour contains all the constituents of the wheat kernel, including protein, starch, lipids, carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins. Yeast fermentation in bread making develops desirable flavor and texture, and yeast itself adds vitamins and protein, making yeast-leavened products nutritionally superior to those made with chemical leaveners. Breads labeled as "wheat" or "part-whole-wheat" often contain a mix of whole grain meal and white flour to achieve better dough expansion.123
