HBin5 Challenge - Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread


I love sandwich bread.  Ok, that's not exactly true.  I love grilled cheese sandwiches, which happens to use sandwich breads. I was really excited about this particular challenge because it was a win-win situation. I got to learn to make a whole wheat sandwich bread and got to eat a grilled cheese sandwich on top of it [yeah, yeah...i'm trying to eat healthier this year...but really, WHOLE WHEAT...and Dairy/Calcium.  That's healthy, right? Don't tell me otherwise, I'm not listening].  
So since I am trying to pretend like I'm eating healthier, I opted to make a gruyere and turkey sandwich on the whole wheat bread. I threw in some cranberries and some arugula from my garden.  It made a great dinner!

  14. Mmm....grilled cheese. When the bread is healthy I feel a little less guility about the cheese part. What a classic flavor combination - just beautiful.
