Welgelegen Wholewheat Bread Recipe.
April 13, 2009

Renee and I ate this dense seed bread every morning when we stayed at the Welgelegen Guest House in Cape Town, South Africa last January.

It is ubiquitous to the bread culture of South Africa, with versions served everywhere.

If you intend to visit Cape Town, we highly recommend Welgelegen for its charm, gracious hospitality, and fabulous location in the Garden district.

We made the donation, so here is the recipe to share with you!
