Frequently Asked Questions About Granary bread
What is Granary bread?

What is the difference between Granary bread and wholemeal bread?

How do you store Granary bread?
Store Granary bread at room temperature in a bread bin or a paper bag to help keep its crust and crumb in good condition. Refrigeration can make bread stale sooner; discard the whole loaf if you see mould.
Can you freeze Granary bread?

Granary bread works well with soups, salads, cheese and savoury sandwich fillings. Its malty, nutty flavour is especially good with mature cheese, eggs or roasted vegetables.

What is Granary bread?
Granary bread is a British-style loaf made with a distinctive malted grain flour, traditionally containing malted wheat flakes. It has a gently sweet, malty flavour and a hearty texture, with a soft crumb and a pleasantly substantial bite. In Britain, it is commonly sliced for toast at breakfast or used for sandwiches at lunch; elsewhere, it works just as well with cheese, eggs, soup or salad. It provides fibre and complex carbohydrates, with 6.8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter meal, top it with vegetables and a lean protein, or serve a slice alongside soup rather than adding rich spreads.
