bread loaf

Sliced sandwich source

A bread loaf is a shaped mass of bread baked as a single unit, typically rectangular or rounded.

The term distinguishes the whole baked form from sliced bread or other shapes: She pulled a fresh bread loaf from the oven.

Loaf alone usually suffices when context is clear.
