Our favorite and best whole grain bread recipe for a dark bread with rye flour and spelt whole wheat flour. Simple, fast and deliciously juicy to a crispy crust is my recipe for dark wholemeal bread. The wholemeal bread recipe is also suitable as a dark baguette and is also often called walnut bread in our country, when we bake the dark bread with walnuts.
