Toast bread
Description
Toast bread is a soft, evenly sliced loaf with a light, fine crumb structure and a thin, slightly crispy crust. The flavor is mild, slightly sweet, and yeasty, making it a neutral backdrop for both sweet and savory toppings. As a product primarily made from wheat flour, it mainly provides carbohydrates for quick energy, a certain amount of plant protein, and, in whole grain versions, valuable fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. Choosing whole grain varieties increases the benefits for digestion and blood sugar control. In the kitchen, toast bread is great for toasts and sandwiches, as a base for crostini, breading, or bread puddings; it pairs well with cheeses, cold cuts, spreads, and jams. It is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature, away from moisture, and should be consumed within a few days, or frozen sliced for longer freshness. Avoid the refrigerator, which speeds up staleness.
