When you toast bread, it breaks down the complex molecules into simpler molecules. So starch is broken down to dextrin, which is easier to digest.

I have never heard that before. The enzymes and acids in your stomach will break down any carbohydrate besides fiber, toasted or not.

It's easier to chew because it's not gummy.
