What causes white bread and wheat bread to mold?

Molds are part of a larger group of microorganisms called fungi. Fungi are found everywhere, but soil, air, water, and decaying organic matter are prime sources. Molds are microscopic plants made up of several cells. Many have a filament and a head that contains spores that can spread through the air and start new mold plants.

What is the difference between whole-wheat and whole-grain bread?

English Nutritional Recommendations Page 3 FAQ - EMail
he glycemic index of whole-grain bread (40) is lower than that of whole-wheat (50) because the flour hasn't undergone the process of bolting. In view of its low glycemic index, whole-grain bread induces a weak glycemic reaction (amount of sugar released into the bloodstream) and limits the storage of fatty acids (fat) because there is no excessive release of insulin (a hormone that lowers glycemia and stimulates fat retention).

Do you have a recipe for 100% whole wheat bread?

Real Baking with Rose Levy Beranbaum: FAQs Archives
I find regular whole wheat flour to be to dense when used as the sole flour for a bread. White whole wheat flour, however, produces a delicously wheaty, crunchy, fine-textured bread. It's especially fragrant when you grind the flour yourself shortly before mixing the dough. Simply replace all the flour in the "Basic Hearth Bread" on page 305 with equal weight white whole wheat flour. The first rise will take about 2 hours intead of 1.

In the book you recommend Light Whole Wheat bread. Is it light because it is low-carb, high-fiber?

Tanya Zuckerbrot, MS, RD
What makes a bread “light” is that it has less than 40 calories per slice. But also look for bread that has at least 3g of fiber per slice.

Does gluten-free mean individuals with severe wheat allergy can eat the product?

GFCO - Home
Not necessarily, you should consult your physician. Gluten-free foods are foods safe for persons with celiac disease. They have none or very low levels of the 'gluten' proteins that could be harmful to persons with celiac disease. Celiac disease is a t-cell mediated reaction. Wheat allergies involve an IgE-mediated reaction to the wheat proteins albumin and globulin fractions. In rare situations, gluten could also induce an IgE-mediated reaction.
