Whole Grain Bread or Slices of White Bread
Question
I have whole grain bread and slices of white bread. On which should I recite the 'Hamotzi' blessing? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
Halacha states that whole bread made from coarse flour should be prioritized over slices made from refined flour.
Therefore, certainly, in this case, the whole bread should be prioritized over the slices.
[It is quite reasonable that even in the case of slice versus slice, whole grain bread nowadays is not considered 'pat kiber' and is not inferior to white bread].
