How many slices are in a standard loaf of bread?

There is no standard number of slices in a loaf of bread. The number of slices can vary depending on:

* The size of the loaf: Larger loaves will have more slices.

* The thickness of the slices: Thicker slices will result in fewer slices per loaf.

* The type of bread: Some breads, like sourdough, are naturally denser and result in fewer slices per loaf.

A typical loaf of white sandwich bread might have 20-24 slices, while a smaller loaf of artisan bread might only have 12-16 slices.
