A slice of bread without butter or other kind of spread/jam/paste?
In our family this is and always has been "dry bread."
E.g. "Would you like a piece of dry bread with your soup?"
Just wondered if this was weird and exclusive to us or in general use.
I did say it was boring!
Just bread?
In my mind, dry bread would have connotations of bad, old, extra dry bread, wouldn't really include nice bread without anything else. Thinking dungeon rations of water and dry bread. That sort of thing.
Eh,
If you said 'dry bread' then I'd interpret it how you mean. However I cannot think of a situation in which such a term might be required. No, butter it you psychopath, is it the 1940s again?
I would categorise bread with nothing on it as dry bread, but not sure if I'd use it in that context, unless to clarify that there'll be nothing on it.
"Do you want anything on your bread to dip into the hummus?"
"No, just dry, please."
If you asked me the question in the original post, I’d understand it easily.
But it would beg the question “what kind of monsters rear their offspring to think this is acceptable?”
Get it buttered ffs
Slice of bread...
A round.
As in 'Would you like a round of bread with your soup?'
Bread
Ghostbusters!
“Do you want anything on your bread to dip into the hummus?”
“No, just dry, please.”
Can't see myself saying "dry" there...
“No, plain is fine, thanks.”
“No, just bread, please.”
“No, just as is, please.”
Dry makes me think of stale bread. But even then I'd call it stale, not dry.

Somebody above used the phrase 'you monster' without referring to the paste bit of your post.
Paste in 2021? You monster!
It's like the way there's no word for "mercy" in Klingon. Just not needed.
Jake orders four fried chickens and a coke.
Elwood simply wants dry white bread, toasted.
If dry bread is as you describe, presumably there’s wet bread too?
that obviously means dry, as in stale - so the toast is extra crunchy. Unless you routinely butter bread BEFORE toasting it?!Elwood simply wants dry white bread, toasted.

You're using anything from the Blues Brothers as some version of normal?
Have you been beaten by an angry nun today?
In hospital they seem to offer "dry toast" for someone who is feeling a bit peaky.

Dry makes me think of stale bread.
Yes, "stale". The actual word I wanted, but forgot exists!
A piece
Plain bread
Boring but I want to know. What do you call…A slice of bread without butter or other kind of spread/jam/paste?
Harry
A piece
Ah no, that needs to be a piece of bread.
Otherwise it's a piece.
A Glasgow piece?
Or an Aberdeen piece?
We make it and we take it home.
A Glasgow piece?
Thats the one.
Used in a sentence .... " Maw, can ay ha' a piece ?"
Raw bread, if it's white then, dirty raw bread
Ah no, that needs to be a piece of bread
Sorry, I thought the "of bread" was obvious 😀
Many other pieces it could be without stating
of shit (a person)
gun
jigsaw
of piss (simple)
etc

No he doesn't. He orders dry, white toast.
Ready salted?
A round.
As in ‘Would you like a round of bread with your soup?’
Or, a round of bread and butter. As I have to do it myself, the whole question is moot.
