1 piece (quarter) of Quarter bread (70 g) has 186 calories. That works out to 265 calories per 100 g. It contains 34.3 g of carbs, 5.9 g of protein, 2.2 g of fat and 1.9 g of fiber. Its 9.1 µg of Selenium covers 17% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 70 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Quarter bread is a portion cut from a loaf, with a browned crust and a soft, airy centre. In Turkey, it commonly means a piece of everyday wheat loaf bought from a bakery, rather than a distinct recipe. The crust may be pleasantly crisp when fresh, while the inside stays tender and easy to tear.
It is served at breakfast with cheese, eggs or olives, and alongside soups and main meals; it also makes a simple sandwich. For English-speaking readers elsewhere, it works much like a portion of ordinary bakery bread. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fibre and protein. Pair it with vegetables and a protein-rich filling or side for a more balanced meal.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
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.

Quarter bread means a portion cut from a loaf, rather than a separate bread variety. The exact size depends on the loaf and how it is divided; a typical serving of this quarter piece is about 70 g.
Cut quarter bread lengthwise and fill it with sandwich ingredients such as cheese, egg, vegetables or cooked meat. A filling that is not too wet helps keep the airy crumb from becoming soggy before you eat it.
Yes, quarter bread freezes well when wrapped airtight. Freeze individual portions so you can thaw only what you need, and let a piece thaw at room temperature or warm it briefly before serving.
Keep quarter bread in a paper bag or bread box at room temperature if you plan to eat it soon. Avoid the refrigerator, which can make bread stale faster; freeze it for longer storage.
Lightly dampen the crust of stale quarter bread and warm it briefly in an oven to soften it. This works best just before serving; discard bread that has mold or an unusual smell.
Usually, quarter bread refers to roughly one-fourth of a loaf, so the terms describe a similar portion. The actual amount is not fixed, because bakery loaves differ in size and may be cut into uneven pieces.
Yes, quarter bread can be toasted. If the piece is too thick or wide for your toaster, slice it in half first; this helps it fit and lets the crumb warm through more evenly.
Yes, the crust on quarter bread is edible and does not need to be removed. If it is too firm for you, warming the bread can soften it, while the airy inside is naturally easier to bite.
Yes, quarter bread can raise blood sugar because its digestible carbohydrates are broken down into glucose. If you have diabetes, pair bread with protein- and fiber-containing foods and follow the portion guidance in your care plan.
Quarter bread does not cause weight gain by itself; weight change reflects overall eating and activity patterns over time. Regularly adding bread portions on top of meals can increase total intake, so consider it as part of the whole meal.
