Brown bread

Brown bread is a type of bread made with significant amounts of whole-grain flour, usually wheat or rye, which gives it a darker colour and denser texture compared to white bread. Ingredients like molasses or coffee are often added to enhance its rich colour and flavour. This bread retains the germ and bran of the grain, making it a healthier option due to its higher fibre content. Brown bread is enjoyed worldwide, with variations like the slightly sweet Boston brown bread from New England, traditionally steamed and sweetened with molasses.
