For starters, a general loaf of sandwich bread has 20 to 24 slices. Specialty or fancy bread has about 16 slices per loaf. For a small party, I estimated guests to eat 2 to 3 slices of bread as an appetizer. For easy math, let’s say you plan on having 2 slices of bread per guest. If you have 20 people coming and are using fancy bread, I recommend you to purchase two loaves. (Source)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To answer this question, we need to know one thing: is bread healthy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole grain bread gives us more minerals, vitamins, and fiber than refined white bread. Bread is a filling substance and while the sound of what makes the whole grain so healthy sounds appealing, too much of one thing is not a good idea. In fact, too much bread can lead to unhealthy weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and inconveniently enough, a gluten intolerance. (Source)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is okay to eat bread! Eating bread is not a bad thing or directly linked to all health issues. While we can link starchy or refined grains to weight gain based on the situation, the bread itself is not the cause of your demise. Know that, like anything, there are risks to what you put in your body depending on your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you take anything away from this paragraph, know that bread is not dangerously unhealthy. It’s alright to eat the fancy bread at that Italian restaurant. 3 slices are the recommended serving size for appetizer breads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
