fancy bread
Bakery's premium offering
Fancy bread is bread that goes beyond basic loaves—enriched with eggs, butter, sugar, or other ingredients that make it richer or more elaborate.
The term covers everything from brioche to challah to cinnamon swirl loaves.
In commercial contexts, fancy bread often means anything that isn't plain white or wheat sandwich bread: The bakery section has all the fancy breads.
