sandwich bread

“Sandwich bread” usually refers to a soft, square loaf of bread that’s sliced for making sandwiches. It’s designed to be tender, easy to chew, and have a uniform crumb that holds fillings well.

Here are a few key details:

🍞 Common Types

• White sandwich bread: Made from refined wheat flour; soft and slightly sweet.

• Whole wheat bread: Includes whole-grain flour for more fiber and flavor.

• Multigrain bread: Contains a mix of grains (like oats, rye, barley, or flax).

• Sourdough sandwich loaf: A tangy, naturally leavened version shaped for sandwiches.

• Brioche or milk bread: Enriched with butter, milk, and eggs for a rich, fluffy texture.
