National Wheat Bread Month

National Wheat Bread Month celebrates wheat bread throughout January. The month offers an opportunity to bake, taste, and learn more about one of the world’s most important grains. Wheat is used in many forms of bread, rolls, flatbreads, cakes, pastries, crackers, tortillas, and noodles, depending on the variety. There are thousands of wheat varieties, grouped into six classes based on hardness, color, and planting time.

Wheat bread may be made with a combination of white and whole-wheat flour, while some loaves use only one type. Whole-wheat flour contains the entire wheat kernel and produces a darker, coarser loaf than white whole-wheat flour, which makes a lighter-colored bread with a softer texture. In January 2011, one account reported that the month recognized the economic and dietary importance of wheat production.

How to Observe National Wheat Bread Month

Celebrate by baking a wheat bread recipe, trying a new style of loaf, or sharing homemade bread with a neighbor. You could also take a baking class or learn about the different wheat varieties used in breads and other baked goods. For a specific project, try the Whole Grain Harvest Bread recipe, which combines white whole-wheat and whole-wheat flour.
