Brown bread is bread made with significant amounts of whole grain flours, usually wheat sometimes with corn and or rye flours. Brown breads often get their characteristic dark color from ingredients such as molasses or coffee. In Canada, the UK, Ireland and South Africa, it is whole wheat bread; in New England and the Maritimes, it is bread sweetened with molasses.

Brown bread contrasts with white bread.
