loaves
Sliced bread sources
Loaves is the plural of loaf—a shaped mass of bread baked as a single unit: two loaves of French bread, five loaves and two fishes.
The plural extends to other loaf-shaped foods: meat loaves.
The irregular plural (loaf → loaves, like knife → knives) follows an old English pattern where certain words ending in -f take -ves.
