Yes, the word 'bread' does have the short e sound. But not all words that have the e and a together make the same short e sound.
An example of a word where the e and a make the long e sound is bead. But you also have words that are spelled exactly the same but sound different and mean different things, such as lead (with a long E meaning show someone the way) and lead (with the short e meaning a heavy metal). Or tear (with short e means to rip) and tear (with long e means the drops that fall when someone cries).
