Notice, Sam, that \"wholegrain\" is not synonymous with \"whole-wheat.\" Any grain may be ground \"whole\" and may be used in bread recipes (almost always mixed with bleached, enriched flour as a base). The white flour base is wheat flour, but the added wholegrain flour (which determines the name of the bread) may or may not be whole-wheat. Rye, for instance, is very commonly used in dark brown breads, such as Russian bread. If the wholegrain flour is whole-wheat, the bread will be called \"whole-wheat bread,\" although the whole-wheat component is a relatively small percentage of the total flour used. The majority is white flour, typically high-gluten (called \"bread flour\"). |
