What size should sandwich bread be?

No, not how wide is a pickle, but how wide should bread be? The humorous responses should be easy enough: wide enough to wipe your face, wide enough to hide the peanut butter, etc, etc.

I pose this question as I have been struggling with my conversion from a Kitchen Aid Pro 600 with stripped gears ( I confess, I make whole wheat bread, two loaves every two weeks, for breakfast toast, and in 80 weeks I killed my worm follower gear ) to a Bosch Universal Plus mixer.

My trials are detailed in another section of this forum, I believe Im close to adapting.

But this question keeps popping up: how big should a slice of sandwich bread be? I want toast, whole wheat, two slices everyday with my eggs and potatoes. Most any size will do, but I want the American slice, the one that fits the toaster without trimming but sticks up tall enough that I dont burn myself.

I went to the current “source of all knowledge”, google, went to the s and found the one attached to this post. There was also a photo of Billy Cystal with a head ache…why??

But there was no American Standard Measurement for a slice of sandwich bread. Like 4 1/4 by 5 3/4 by3/8 inches. Just like that.

Maybe I should start getting my compost tea brewer ready for spring. Maybe this baking avocation is too much. Maybe Im over yeasted.

Can any one guide me to a standard loaf size, 9 x 5 x??
