The Best-Ever Bread to Use for a Grilled Cheese (Plus 4 Amazing Alternatives)

So, What Is the Best Bread for Grilled Cheese?

For the ideal grilled cheese, look for bread with a soft-but-hearty texture with even slices of medium thickness (about 1/4 inch). Hearty sandwich bread, sourdough, brioche, and rye all work very well. Avoid rolls and loaves with large holes in the interior.
