What is
Sandwich Bread?

Sandwich bread is a type of bread that is soft, pliable, and ideal for making sandwiches. It has a moist texture and is usually sliced into uniform pieces which make it easy to stack and layer fillings.

Origins & History

The concept of sandwich bread dates back to the early 18th century when John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, popularized the idea of placing fillings between two slices of bread. However, sandwich bread, as we know it today, evolved throughout the 19th and 20th centuries with the advent of commercial baking and sliced bread production.

Sandwich bread has a mild, slightly sweet taste that complements a variety of fillings, from savory to sweet, without overpowering them.
