How to make multigrain bread
Our multigrain bread recipe bakes a loaf that is soft and fluffy like regular white sandwhich bread, but has a hearty flavour. Why not try our multigrain bread toasted and spread with honey or jam? Serve whilst still warm for added deliciousness.
Is multigrain bread healthy?
Generally, multigrain bread is more nutritious than white bread. Whole grains are rich in protein, fiber, and B vitamins, and provide you with complex carbohydrates that help you to feel satisfied.
If you enjoyed making our multigrain bread, we think you should try our wholemeal bread rolls.

Recipe Reviews
good to know need wholemeal flour too as wondered why not rising
Very nice bread. Just the right amount of wholemeal flour that my kids didn't turn their noses up at it. Added sunflower and pumpkin seeds to the dough, and then brushed the top with egg and more seeds just before going into the oven. Quite a sweet dough, so might decrease the amount of honey next time.
