On average, a standard loaf of bread contains about 16 to 24 slices, depending on the size of the loaf and how thick the slices are. Most store-bought loaves fall into this range, with some pre-sliced varieties having around 20 slices.
The exact number can vary:
- Smaller loaves (like those of artisanal or homemade bread) might have fewer slices.
- Larger loaves, especially those from commercial brands, might have more slices, sometimes closer to 24 or even 28.
This can also be affected by the style of bread (e.g., sandwich bread vs. artisan loaves) and how the bread is sliced.
