Milk loaf with wheat germ
Milk loaf with wheat germ is a type of bread that is made with wheat germ, which is the nutrient-rich embryo of the wheat kernel. It is often added to bread recipes to boost the nutritional content, as wheat germ is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The milk in the recipe helps make the bread soft and moist. It's a delicious and wholesome bread option that can be enjoyed on its own or with toppings like butter or jam.
