I order it by the case. \u00a0Sunset Foods carries it in white and whole wheat.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1693\" title=\"Bread4\" src=\"http:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bread42.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bread42.gif 540w, https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bread42-300x225.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1692\" title=\"Bread2\" src=\"http:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bread21.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bread21.gif 540w, https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bread21-225x300.gif 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I am Armenian and this is my favorite bread.\u00a0 We grew up eating this instead of sliced wonder bread for our sandwiches.\u00a0 I did get strange looks at the lunch tables back in the day but it was so good I didn&#8217;t care. \u00a0My Grandmother would start making bread at 5am. \u00a0When she stayed &hellip;<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/?p=1689\">Read more <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pantry-staples"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1689"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1689\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1698,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1689\/revisions\/1698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feastandflowers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
