Wheat Bread

Brown bread

Brown bread, in contrast to white bread, is bread made with significant amounts of whole grain flours, usually wheat sometimes with corn and or rye flours. In some countries brown breads often get their characteristic dark color from ingredients such as molasses or coffee. In Canada, the UK, Ireland and South Africa, it is a blend of white flour and whole wheat flour. Wholemeal bread within the UK must be made solely from whole wheat flour. In New England and the Maritimes, brown bread is bread sweetened with molasses.

Wheat is a group of wild and domesticated grasses of the genus Triticum. As cereals, they are cultivated for their grains, which are staple foods around the world. Well-known wheat species and hybrids include the most widely grown common wheat, spelt, durum, emmer, einkorn, and Khorasan or Kamut. The archaeological record suggests that wheat was first cultivated in the regions of the Fertile Crescent around 9600 BC.
