Things like sandwich bread and baguettes and bagels - no. But there are a few special kinds that contain milk or butter. There's usually some indication of that somewhere on the package other than in the list of ingredients, like "butter-topped Homepride" (drawing on an old memory, might have it wrong).

Actually, the above post is not entirely correct. Sandwich breads contain whey, which is dairy. Almost all bread does contain a dairy derivative.

From 1:28 - ah, so that's where the bit of protein in bread comes from. Thanks!

What? Grains have proteins of their own, you know.

as the 1:35 poster pointed out, most commercially produced breads contain whey (a dairy element, think "little miss muffat... eating her curds and whey...") whey isn't gonna hurt you in any way, but how much commercial stuff has whey in it is a pain in the a** for those of us trying to be vegan.

Whey and casinate (i think thats how you spell it) are both products of milk. Whey is the watery part of milk that remains after the formation of curds. Casinate is a milk derivative, both of these you'll probably find in most breads but neither of them really bothers people if they are lactose intolerant.

(Forgive my explanation as this is second hand knowledge.) Jewish people do not mix dairy and meat - so it's hard to make a corned beef sandwich and keep it kosher. If you are concerned about eating a bread without any dairy in it at all, find a bread with a kosher symbol (I believe it's a U in a circle.) This indicates that it is Kosher. A D in a circle is Kosher Dairy (I believe.) There is also a hebrew letter and the word "PARVE" this means that the food item contains neither meat nor dairy. (sorta like gender neutral) I hope someone who is a practicing Jew can clarify my post a little bit more.
