I love bread. A lot. And I like to try different recipes to test out the crumb and how fast it gets dry, and the flavor and all of it. Well today’s recipe I’m sharing comes from Bred World Canada (although I printed the recipe in 2008 and I can not find the link to it now!) But that’s where I got it!
This bread has 3x the Fiber content of white bread. And that is awesome!
