This Whole Grain Sandwich Bread was made for the upcoming lunchboxes we all will be making whether it is going back to school or work… I added hummus to this recipe to add some depth. In lieu of making sandwiches, you could also toast it up and add your favorite toppings like avocado, more hummus, tomato, black beans, and goat cheese. Dang, that sounds pretty good!
There isn’t much else better than a loaf of freshly baked bread straight out of the oven. This particular bread was made specifically for healthier sandwich bread for the upcoming school year.
It’s August which means that kids are heading back to school.
Not only are kids heading back to school, but teachers are heading back and so are adult students like me.
If you are anything like me, you see September as a new start. If you’ve fallen back into bad habits this summer because of endless adventures or summer vacations then you are looking to get back into a routine. And why not make whole grain sandwich bread a part of it?
This bread is loaded with whole grains and a flavorful ingredient that consists of chickpeas and tahini: Hummus. Sabra Hummus has many flavors to choose from. This bread was made with their Jalapeno flavor which made it really spicy but you can use whichever flavor rocks your world.
Whole Grain Sandwich Bread
Use your favorite flavor of Sabra hummus in this recipe. You really can't go wrong! If you need to keep this vegan or dairy-free make sure to check the ingredients. Slice and toast the bread for a hearty companion to your eggs or add your favorite sandwich makings between two pieces and pack a healthy lunch.
Ingredients
- 6 cups white whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup unrefined sugar
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 2 packages dry yeast
- 1/2 cup Sabra hummus (any flavor)
- 3 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Grease two medium loaf pans.
- Set aside the prepared pans. In a large bowl, mix together the white whole wheat flour, unrefined sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Add the hummus and pour in the hot water.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until blended.
- The batter does not need to be kneaded.
- Fill both pans halfway to two-thirds full.
- Push the batter into the corners of the pan and smooth with wet fingers.
- Cover with parchment paper and put into a warm place until the batter has doubled in volume.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the loaf.
- Remove loaf pans from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Remove finished bread from the pans by gently running a knife along the edges of the pan and turning it over. The loaf should easily slide out.
- Slice bread and use for toast or sandwiches!

Fresh bread makes all the difference, this sounds delicious!!
It really does! There is something special about a fresh baked loaf!
This bread sounds amazing! Such a creative idea!
I love the smell of homemade bread in the house
Me too!
Well this is freaking genius!!! Yes please!
Thank you Liz!!!
I’m so intrigued by the fact that there is hummus inside of this bread. That is beyond genius!
Thank you! ๐
i usually eat hummus with bread..but hummus already in a bread is pretty genius!
Yes! That is what prompted me to bake it in. I can skip a step this way… But I ended up putting even more hummus on top of it… ๐
I’ve never made bread with hummus before…very intrigued.
Kids are back at school already a week and I’m still on vacation mode! Yes, love this bread idea! How wonderful you added hummus to it…have got to try it.
I’m still in vacation mode too… I go back to school in the middle of September so I’m trying to pretend its not just around the corner…
Bread made with hummus!!! I am just loving the creativity here, and there is nothing better than the smell of fresh bread coming out of the oven.
Thanks Lori! I agree. Maybe realtors should bake bread instead of cookies?
Hummus in bread?! What a great idea! I can’t wait to give this a try!
You’re right – freshly baked bread is the best! Even better when it’s whole grain. ๐
I totally agree! ๐
I shy away from making homemade bread but you did a fabulous job on this!
There is a lot I generally shy away from in the kitchen but this bread is a no knead version so all was good ;D
I am seriously IN LOVE with this idea! Whole grain AND it has HUMMUS in it?! I am DEAD! I love Sabra, so this is awesome! Pinned!
Thanks a lot, Taylor! You rock!
Hummus IN the bread…I LOVE it! I also love that first photo, gorgeous! What a beautiful loaf of bread1
Thanks so much, Colleen!! I use my boyfriends hands a lot in photos. ๐
Your images are gorgeous! This bread looks fantastic. You can’t beat homemade bread – that’s for sure!! Back to school it is – the healthy way ๐
Soooo I had no idea you could make bread from hummus….so cool! I feel like this bread would be awesome in a savory French toast dish. My husband loves Sabra so I’m sue he would go crazy over this. {Totally unrelated to this bread: I miss you!}
I miss and love you. Can we make some plans to do something asap?
That homemade bread smell is the BEST! I want tobake some now! And I love the addition of hummus to this!
Hummus in whole grain bread? Wow. I’m absolutely making this.
Are you kidding me with this recipe?! This is seriously brilliant. I CANNOT believe you baked hummus into bread!! (On a side note, the jalapeno hummus is our favorite flavor)
YESSSS Jalapeno for the win!
I LOVE baking with hummus. Such a great idea to use it in bread. Back to school or not, I need to bake up a loaf of this!
