Sandwich bread (also referred to as sandwich loaf)[1] is bread that is prepared specifically to be used for the preparation of sandwiches.[2][3][4] Sandwich breads are produced in many varieties, such as white, whole wheat, sourdough, rye, multigrain[1][5][6][7] and others. Sandwich bread may be formulated to slice easily,[8] cleanly or uniformly, and may have a fine crumb (the soft, inner part of bread) and a light texture.[4] Sandwich bread may be designed to have a balanced proportion of crumb and crust, whereby the bread holds and supports fillings in place and reduces drips and messiness.[3][4] Some may be designed to not become crumbly, hardened, dried or have too squishy a texture.[2][9] Sandwich bread can refer to cross-sectionally square, sliced white and wheat bread, which has been described as "perfectly designed for holding square luncheon meat".[10] The bread used for preparing finger sandwiches is sometimes referred to as sandwich bread.[10] Pain de mie is a sandwich loaf.[11][12] Some sandwich breads are designed for use in the creation of specific types of sandwiches, such as the submarine sandwich.[13] For barbecuing, use of a high-quality white sandwich bread has been described as suitable for toasting over a fire.[14] Gluten-free sandwich bread may be prepared using gluten-free flour, teff flour,[15][16] and other ingredients.

In the United States[]

In the 1930s in the United States, the term sandwich loaf referred to sliced bread.[10] In contemporary times, U.S. consumers sometimes refer to white bread such as Wonder Bread as sandwich bread and sandwich loaf.[1] Wonder Bread produced and marketed a bread called Wonder Round sandwich bread, which was designed to be used with round-shaped cold cuts and other fillings such as eggs and hamburgers, but it was discontinued due to low consumer demand.[17] American sandwich breads have historically included some fat derived from the use of milk or oil to enrich the bread.[4] Thin-sliced breads, wherein the bread is sliced somewhat thinner than customary, are often labeled as "sandwich bread".

Commercial sandwich bread[]

Pepperidge Farm produces breads designed and marketed to be used in sandwich preparation.[18][19] Nature's Pride is another brand that has produced sandwich bread. Bonn Group of Industries, a food company based in Ludhiana Punjab, India, produces a product called Super Sandwich Bread. Some supermarket chains, such as H-E-B, produce their own store brands of sandwich bread.[20] Some mass-produced sandwich breads are sliced before being packaged,[3][21] while others are packaged unsliced. Some companies, such as Nissen, also produce sandwich rolls.[22]

In popular culture[]

In 2012, the New Jersey State Fair/Sussex County Farm and Horse Show held The Fleischmann's yeast "Sensational Sandwich Bread" contest, in which contestants submitted their homemade sandwich bread prepared using Fleischmann's Yeast.[23] Breads were judged under the criteria of appearance, flavor, texture, sandwich filling and creativity.[23] The contest included cash prizes and state and national grand-prize winners.[23]
