1 slice (medium) of Country Bread (Toasted) (35 g) has 93 calories. That works out to 265 calories per 100 g. It contains 17.2 g of carbs, 3 g of protein, 0.9 g of fat and 1.2 g of fiber. Its 0.2 mg of Manganese covers 9% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 70 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Country bread (toasted) is rustic, thick-sliced bread browned until crisp. Country-style loaves are commonly made with wheat flour, water, salt and yeast or a sourdough starter; their shape and crumb vary from bakery to bakery. Toasting deepens the crust while leaving the centre soft and porous.
Serve it warm with butter, jam or eggs at breakfast, or alongside soup, salads and cheese for lunch or supper. It is a carbohydrate-rich bread with some fibre, and its sturdy slices make a satisfying base for toppings. For a lighter option, add tomatoes or other vegetables and a modest portion of cheese rather than a thick layer of butter.

Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Toast thick slices of country bread over medium heat so the outside browns before the center dries out. Turn them in a skillet, or arrange them in one layer in the oven and remove them when golden.
Toasted country bread pairs well with avocado, eggs, cheese, or tomatoes and olive oil. Add juicy toppings just before serving so the porous crumb does not turn soggy.
Yes, you can freeze toasted country bread. Let the slices cool completely, separate them with parchment, and seal them in a freezer-safe bag; reheat briefly after thawing to bring back some crispness.
Toasted country bread gets hard when too much moisture evaporates during prolonged or high-heat toasting. Thick slices can brown unevenly, so check them often and take them off the heat once golden.
Yes, stale country bread can be toasted and served instead of discarded. If it is very dry, lightly sprinkle it with water first, then toast it in a skillet or oven until warmed and crisp.
Let leftover toasted country bread cool fully, then keep it in a closed container in a dry place. Sealing it while warm traps steam and softens the crust; briefly reheating can restore some crunch.
No, toasting does not make country bread substantially healthier or remove its main nutrients. It drives off water, and very dark or burnt toast is best avoided; aim for a golden surface.
No, toasting country bread does not remove gluten. The gluten remains in the bread after heating, so toasted country bread is not safe for someone with coeliac disease or a gluten allergy.
Yes, people with diabetes can include toasted country bread, but it can raise blood glucose because toasting does not remove its carbohydrates. Portion size and what you eat with it matter; follow your clinician’s meal plan.
Toasted country bread does not cause weight gain by itself; overall eating patterns matter. Generous spreads and toppings can add substantially to a serving, so account for them when putting together a meal.
