As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I recently received two loaves of Nature's Pride OvenClassics bread. One loaf was 100 percent whole wheat and the other loaf was oatmeal. According to information provided by Foodbuzz, the OvenClassics 100% Whole Wheat Bread "provides a good source of fiber, 25% less sodium than regular whole wheat bread, 19 grams of whole grains and 5 grams of protein per slice. The OvenClassics oatmeal bread "includes 40% less sodium than regular oatmeal bread, 8 grams of whole grains, and 4 grams of protein per slice."
D and I both gave each loaf of bread a try. To be honest, neither of us were impressed. Though the promotional material touts the bread's "smooth texture," we both agreed that the texture is one of the bread's main downfalls. As is the rather bland taste. For those who prefer a plain-tasting bread, this probably wouldn't be a problem. I much prefer a heartier bread for toast and sandwiches. For example, the bread we have on hand now is full of walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, and almonds.
However, one plus of bland bread is that it makes for excellent bread crumbs. In the next post, I'll show you how to transform half a loaf of bread into bread crumbs perfect for multiple uses.
