Print Products and services By Mayo Clinic Staff
Dietitian s tip
This is not a fast, easy recipe, but if you like to make nutritious bread, this is for you. Making good bread takes practice, so keep trying. Be sure to knead it long enough. Like most baked goods, this bread is great right out of the oven.
