whole wheat bread made from whole wheat flour is healthier than its refined flour counterpart, also has a rustic aroma and flavour, which are thoroughly enjoyable. Freshly-baked 100% whole wheat bread is a delight to bite into, for babies, toddlers, children and adults too! You can use olive oil instead of butter to get a more authentic aroma , but if that is not available you can always bake atta bread with regular soft butter.

Tried the whole wheat bread and it was very delicious and soft. Is it advisable to cut up all the slices when hot and fresh? Seemed more crumbly when I tried cutting after some time. Loved the homemade fresh bread, that too totally ''whole wheat'' Thank you very much for this easy and nutritious recipe.

Tarla Dalal    Hi, Thank you for the feedback, it is advisable to cut the bread when it has cooled down completely. if you are going to cut while warm or hot it is surely going to crumble.

Hi , i tried this bread and the outcome was superb. Only thing is that the taste was a bit on sweet. Can we reduce the amount of sugar to balance the taste . Thanks for sharing such a easy and wonderful recipe

Tarla Dalal    Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate it. The next time you reduce the amount of sugar, ensure first the yeast has been activated properly or else the bread would not fluff up. This is a tried and tested recipe from our kitchen so, we would actually suggest you stick to the recipe. Do try other recipes and let us know your feedback. Happy cooking :)

Hi tarla mam, Am a big fan of yours. Thank you for sharing such an awesome healthy bread recipe. I tried it out yesterday and the taste was good but i had 2 issues with it. Am new for baking and it''s my first time making bread i used active dry yeast instead of instant yeast. The bread''s crust was very crunchy but the inner portion was soft. It got dried very soon. I wanted to feed this to my 11months old baby. Please help me how to make the crust a little soft and how to store the bread and prevent drying soon. I rolled it with a cling film but it got dry. I applied butter over the top of the bread. I followed everything you said in the recipe. Please advice.

Tarla Dalal    Hi, Use instant dry yeast because that gives a better texture to the bread. Secondly bread making is an art and will come with practice so dont worry and thirdly always apply butter as soon as it is baked it will make it soft, the top will always be a little harder compare to the inside. Do try it again and let us know. Happy Cooking !!
