Interesting fact: Bread looks large because it traps air, so its weight depends on crumb density as much as size.
The answer: Typically, a whole loaf of bread weighs about 450 to 900 grams (1 to 2 pounds). The exact weight depends on size, variety, preparation, brand, and how much edible or non-edible material is included.
Bakery weights depend on hydration, air pockets, filling, and serving size. That makes them surprisingly variable, but typical averages are still useful for recipe scaling, nutrition labels, catering, and portion planning.
