bread recipes have always been a popular dish throughout our history since the beginning of agriculture. bread has been a staple food of many cuisines all over the world and hence you may see myriad ways and variations to it. in india especially the north indian cuisine practices flatbreads prepared especially with wheat and plain flour. however, the cuisine’s of europe and africa generally shape the bread into a loaf which can be later sliced for the specific requirement. even this recipe post deals with the same concept of bread loaf which is later sliced into thin bread slices. moreover, these individual eggless whole wheat bread slices come with air pockets which makes it soft and spongy. these bread slices can be used for wide range of dishes like a sandwich, bread-related snacks and even bread related desserts.

furthermore, some critical and important recommendations and tips while preparing the wheat bread recipe. firstly, the bread recipe does not include any fancy ingredients and is prepared with basic ingredients like wheat and yeast mixed with milk or water. but the critical aspect remains in the kneading and yeast proofing. i have kneaded the dough for about 15 minutes which is later followed by shaping and tuck in. there isn’t any short-cut to it as has to be done patiently. in addition, once the dough is shaped and has risen in the baking tray, do not forget to brush and wash it with milk. this step helps to give a golden brown and crunchy texture.
