food products, but how many slices you get per loaf is not something we generally think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is helpful to know how many slices of bread there are in a loaf when you&rsquo;re calorie counting if you need to calculate the weight per slice, or to work out how many slices you need to feed a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, I&rsquo;ve researched and put together a comprehensive list (in charts) of the UK&rsquo;s most popular bread brand slice numbers per loaf, along with average slice numbers and how many slices you get from a homemade loaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Generally<\/strong>, a large 800g shop-bought medium sliced loaf has 20 slices per loaf,<strong> and a thick sliced loaf will contain 16-18 slices per loaf.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This figure does vary, especially for specialty loaves, so read on to get the exact information you need for your bread type and size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

id=\"average-calories\">How Many Slices are in an Average Loaf of Bread?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you need to know the average number of slices for a generic loaf of bread, the charts below will help you work out what you need (depending on the loaf size and slice thickness). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bread is typically sold in two main loaf sizes, although they can vary depending on the brand or bread type, so I&rsquo;ve split the sizes into the two most-common weights found in shops and supermarkets to keep things simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to know slice numbers for a specific brand, skip to the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Average Number of Slices From a Small (400g) Loaf <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-2 wp-block-columns\">\n<div

of Bread are in a Homemade Loaf?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you slice up homemade bread, unless you have the knack of cutting perfect slices, they will generally be thicker than shop-bought sliced loaves, which are cut by machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a general rule, when sliced by hand, a large (2lb) loaf will cut into around 14-16 thick slices per loaf, and a small (1lb) loaf will slice into about ten slices per loaf.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"brand-calories\">Slices Per Loaf of Bread &ndash; By Brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The tables below show how many slices of bread are in a loaf for

Many Servings Are in a Loaf of Bread?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ve researched numerous recommended bread servings from brand bread nutrition labels to get an answer on how much bread is classed as a serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The serving size for most shop-bought bread is two slices because it&rsquo;s generally used as sandwich bread. The exception to this rule is thick-sliced higher-calorie bread such as a thick seeded bloomer, in which case, the recommended serving is one slice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The larger the loaf and the thicker the slice is, the more calories it will contain; for more information on how many calories are in a slice of bread, take a look at the article below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/calories-slice-bread-uk\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How Many Calories Are in a Slice of Bread?
