Loaves of specialty breads, such as Texas toast, sourdough and multi-grain, contain approximately 16 to 18 slices. Loaves of thin-sliced bread contain approximately 26 slices.
A slice of sandwich bread is generally 3/8- to 5/8-inch thick. The serving size, which is typically one to three slices, varies by manufacturer and type of bread.
