Light bread, often associated with Southern U.S. cuisine, is a type of soft, airy white bread that gained popularity for its tender texture and mild flavor. Made primarily from refined wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and a touch of sugar or oil, its preparation yields a delicate crumb ideal for sandwiches or toast. While light bread is noted for its low density, it offers minimal nutritional value compared to whole-grain options due to the use of refined flour, which lacks fiber and key nutrients. However, it tends to be lower in calories per slice, making it a choice for those seeking portion-controlled options. It serves as a versatile base for meals but should be balanced with nutrient-rich toppings or sides to enhance its health profile in a meal.
