White bread
Description
White bread has a soft, fluffy crumb and a thin, golden crust; the taste is delicate, slightly sweet, and neutral, making it a versatile addition to many dishes. Made from refined wheat flour, it primarily provides carbohydrates as a source of quick energy, has a moderate amount of protein, and low fat content; it is often enriched with B vitamins and iron. Compared to whole grain bread, it contains less fiber, so it is worth pairing it with vegetables and proteins for a balanced diet; for those with a sensitive digestive system, it is easily digestible. It works well as a base for sandwiches, toasts, breading, croutons, or for making French toast. Store briefly in a linen or paper bag in a dry place, use plastic packaging to keep softness for a few days, and for longer storage, freeze sliced pieces; avoid the refrigerator, which speeds up staleness.
