Despite how much healthier it is for you, I just can't get over the taste or texture of wholemeal bread as opposed to your average white bread. I've found maybe one or two wholemeal breads I've liked, but most of them I hate with a passion.
I'm a confirmed white bread addict.
Anyone else?
Linda I make some of my bread with half strong white flour half wholemeal and it has a lovely taste.
I also flavour some of my bread with finely chopped olives or sun dried tomatoes , it is delicious
I dont eat White bread, but mainly Wholemeal and Specialist loafs. However i do miss the taste of Brown bread we used to get in the 60`s
Nom you can still get that taste if you make your own bread using a good quality organic Strong Wholemeal Bread Flour like Marriages or Doves Farm . Most organic shops sell it along with fresh yeast.

I am left wondering why you cant buy these tasty loaves anymore, even the expensive ones ive tried have better texture butt still lack that flavour i remember.
I love wholemeal brown bread and also seeded bread I dont very often have white bread but when I do its always usually a white Cob thickly sliced and freshly baked
For convenience I buy 50/50. When I `home bake` it`s 2 parts strong white to 1 part strong wholemeal. It does need a hefty kneading and a good rise to get a decent texture but it is rewarding.

See, I've done the half & half thing before too and I still don't like it. The wholemeal taste overpowers the white, so to me there's no difference in taste between 100% wholemeal or 50% wholemeal and 50% white flour.
