Good afternoon, my dear readers! Today I want to share with you recipes on how to make bread from whole grain flour. My family always looks forward to when I bake it again. At first it may seem rough in taste, because most often it is baked from rye or wallpaper flour. However, once you get a little used to its unusual taste, you are unlikely to want to go back to store-bought loaves. In addition, such homemade bread will be fresh the next day and will not go stale.
Baking not only has a balanced taste, but is also very healthy. It prolongs the feeling of fullness due to the fiber it contains, which means it is suitable for weight loss and proper nutrition (PN). Its calorie content is about 180 - 250 kcal, but all of them benefit the body.
The products used for cooking are the simplest: whole grain flour, water, sugar, vegetable oil, salt, sourdough or yeast. It happens that the loaf has a slightly bitter taste. It is not difficult to understand why such baked goods are bitter: most likely, old flour was used. It is also possible that it was simply exposed to the sun's rays.
