Rich Whole Wheat Batter Bread is the perfect sandwich loaf. It bakes up just right every time and slices to any thickness that you like.
You know how there are old recipes that have been around from the 60’s, 50’s, 40’s and even the 30’s? They are cooked over and over again and passed down from generation to generation. Well this is one of those recipes. It was originally called ‘batter bread’.
The great thing about it is that there is yeast but none of the traditional kneading that goes along with yeast bread. The final mixture just goes into a loaf pan and then the magic happens.
Stick it in a preheated over and it rises and bakes all at the same time. Rich Whole Wheat Batter Bread comes out nice and golden. There’s no tearing or smashing when you try to cut it ether. It stands up to any bread knife with a perfect slice every time.
It is soft enough for delicious eating and sturdy enough to pile high with your favorite spread and sandwich ingredients. And the toast! It is perfect with or without cashew butter. The perfect breakfast to many an adult and child. This adult included.
One of my favorite sandwiches is to smear the bread with a nice thick layer of my recipe for Almond Mayonnaise and then pile on a layer of roasted red bell pepper, sautéd mushrooms and, of course, lots of fresh spinach. Slice it in half and take a big bite. Yeah, that’s right!
Keep this recipe because it takes advantage of all of the common household ingredients that are already in your cupboard and you’ll never be short on bread. In less than an hour you have a nice fresh loaf Rich Whole Wheat batter bread.

Well, it was not designed for a bread maker Shanta. It isn’t made to go through the traditional rising process so the bread maker may be messing with that. If you are cutting the measurements in half it is no longer a 2 pound loaf. I’m glad it’s delicious though. 🙂 It always comes out just like the photo with no possibility of breaking apart if the recipe is followed.

Hi I 1/2 everything in the recipe to put in my bread machine. The bread comes out delicious, but it falls apart when its not toasted to make a sandwich only.. I cook it the bread machine on medium 2lb basic/white bread. Do you know what could be the problem?
Ginny McMeans
It makes a large loaf as the photo shows. It bakes up and over the top of the pan. You could also make two smaller loaves. I would estimate it is 2 pounds.

Hi Sherry! No I haven’t. It would probably be pretty heavy. If you try it would you let me know?
Sherry
Hi, Ginny. Have you tried making this with 100% whole wheat flour?

Hi Roxanne. It’s Wilton’s 9.25×5.25×2.75 so closert to 9×5. It’s a big loaf and cooks over the top a bit as in the picture.
Roxanne
Curious to the size of your pan?
Ginny McMeans
Hi Chris! Thank you so much! Have you used a smaller pan? It is a large loaf and if the pan is overfilled it could fall in the middle. It shouldn’t be much though. Maybe use two smaller pans. That should fix it.
Chris
I love this bread and have made it several times. Sometimes I add some sunflower Or pumpkin seeds! The last couple times it has fallen quite a bit in the middle, any idea what might cause that?
Ginny McMeans
That is wonderful Chris! I love it too and thanks so much for letting me know!
