Indians are not big on eating bread - at least the ones I know of. Having toast in the morning was (note the "was") not a regular affair. My mother had this sandwich maker which she got from some exhibition in Delhi but which she rarely used. I dunno if she still has it, but I was its fan. Many a times when my mother was busy and I had to prepare my own lunch, I used to take the maker, place two slices at both ends, dump (..and I literally mean it) with whatever I could get my hands on and make sandwich with it. I used to feel pretty proud of it too - although my dad till date teases me with the "supposed fillings" i used to have inside them and very 'graciously' stayed away from them!

Anyways, on the rare cases when we did buy bread - my mother to keep it healthy used to avoid the white bread and go for 'Brown bread'. It was called that and it was whole wheat bread. If you eat that, you will realize why most people avoid wheat breads. It was bad! A complete 'blech'. I used to accuse my mom of depriving me of my happiness of eating breads by buying these and she used to patiently explain that 'unfortunately healthy dishes are sometimes bad- you have to put up with them!". But then Baking is not common in India - so making your own bread (a brown bread at that!) cannot be thought of. All these thoughts brimming on my mind on this Father's day, I ended up making sandwiches - but with fillings my father wouldn't be able to stay away from :) I made them with these Whole Wheat Bread (or should I say "Brown Bread") in remembrance of my mom's healthy cause. Hope this post reminds them of all those memories just the way it did for me. Now to the recipe. If you are not fan of whole wheat bread because they are dense and heavy then you should try this one. Its spongy, light and delicious. I got this recipe from this Master Baker I ever knew.
