What it is
This is a loaf of soft, pre-sliced white bread. It is made from enriched wheat flour, which means certain nutrients have been added back after processing. The texture is light and fluffy, making it a popular choice for everyday meals. It has a mild flavor that complements a wide variety of toppings and fillings. The slices are uniform in thickness for consistent results.
