WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



WHOLE WHEAT LEVAIN



The ¾ Whole Wheat Levain is naturally leavened using our Levain starter. However, this bread has a higher percentage of whole wheat flour – approximately three-quarters of the flour content—than our original Pain au Levain. Hence the name! Due to the high percentage of whole wheat flour this bread is denser and has a chewier texture than our original ‘Pain au Levain’. Its crust is firmer as well and it has a decorative diamond-shaped score on top. It has a malty, slightly nutty, and sour flavor.


Suggested Uses: This bread is great as table bread for those who would like to have a denser whole wheat sourdough option on their menu. Like many of our other breads it is quite versatile, and can be used for a variety of things including sandwiches, croutons, stuffing, open-faced toast, and more.



WHOLE WHEAT WALNUT



Acme’s Whole Wheat Walnut is made out of the same dough as our Whole Wheat Levain with the addition of walnuts. The loaf is hand-moulded rises in a floured basket, which imprints its patterns into the surface of the bread. The texture is slightly dense due to the high content of whole wheat flour - almost 75%. The taste can be described as nutty and slightly sour.


Suggested Uses: Whole Wheat Walnut is delicious with many types of cheeses. It could be used for a unique grilled cheese sandwich, to accompany a cheese fondue, or along with a cheese or charcuterie platter. Its texture and flavor is enhanced by toasting, and could serve as a vessel for many different types of toppings.



WHOLE WHEAT SEED LOAF



The Whole Wheat Seed is a 100% Whole Wheat loaf made with organic whole wheat flour with the addition of poppy, sesame and sunflower seeds and sweetened just a bit with honey. The bread is proofed and baked in standard loaf pans. The resulting loaf is smooth and golden brown, with a nutty and slightly sweet flavor. The seeds add texture to the loaf and the honey helps to keep the crumb moist.


Suggested Uses: Whole Wheat Seed is excellent toasted with jam and goes well with PB&J, pastrami, grilled cheese, classic turkey, roasted vegetables, and more.
