Would anyone happen to know if, in any way, toasting bread changes its calorie content?

Answer 1

perhaps, due to the heating, enzymes still found in the grain cells in the bread, called amylaze, change the molecules of the bread cells.

See, the bread, before, is made of grains, which was a plant. Plants make glucose to use as energy straight away, or store it as starch.

It could be, that when you heat the bread, amylase may turn the starch into glucose, still used to the process of the plant that the glucose should be naturally converted like in the plant.

Glucose is much easier to greak down as in Starch, so maybe,just maybe, toasted bread has less calories than before it was toasted.

Water content of course would also be reduced due to the heat.

Answer 2

It changes the nutrient content, not the caloric values.

Answer 3

Not until you add the butter and jam...

Answer 4

Dries out.
