The plural form for the noun loaf is loaves. (e.g. loaves of bread).

∙ 13y agoThe loaves are countable, but the noun 'bread', in grammatical terms, is not generally considered to be countable.
Compare the following sentences:
1. "Can I have some bread?"
2. "Yes, certainly. How many loaves do you want today?
3. "Just one (loaf of bread), wholemeal please."
Notice that the person does not ask for 'one bread' (this is because 'bread' is uncountable, you can't have one of something that can't be counted!).
The shopkeeper then asks how many loaves are wanted, NOT how many breads are wanted! Loaves can be counted, slices can be counted, and even trays of bread can be counted, but not bread.
With uncountable nouns such as 'bread', we can use the quantifier 'much'. But with countable nouns, such as 'loaf/loaves' we use 'many'.
Example sentences:
- "I must go to the shops because I haven't got muchbread(uncountable) left."
(NOT "I haven't got many breads left!")
- "And I'm having a party tomorrow. How manyloaves(countable) of bread do you think we'll need to make enough Sandwiches for ten people?"
