Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread Recipe

Freshly Milled Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread that is soft and fluffy like store-bought bread! It's my favorite everyday sandwich bread that I slice and freeze for upcoming sandwiches, toast, and more! This whole wheat bread is made entirely with 100% whole wheat flour using grains.
