Variations

You can substitute the bread for a gluten-free option if required, or another type of brown, grainy bread.

Chef's tips

Aim for bread with sodium of less than 300mg/100g and without added oil if possible. Check that the first ingredient has the word "wholemeal" – if not it will likely have refined flour as the main ingredient.
