Best Breads — Whole Grain, Short Ingredient List

Real bread has four ingredients: flour, water, salt, yeast. Anything past that — dough conditioners, azodicarbonamide, potassium bromate, high fructose corn syrup — is a product-quality tell. Our top-scoring breads keep the label honest.

What to look for

Whole grain or sprouted grain as ingredient #1
No potassium bromate (banned in EU, UK, Canada)
No azodicarbonamide (the 'yoga mat chemical')
No high-fructose corn syrup
Seven or fewer total ingredients is the short-list sweet spot
