Answer:
The saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase which hydrolyses starch into maltose. It breaks down starch in bread into simpler sugars (maltose) which give a sweet taste, since you are chewing for a longer while, more time and more mixing, for enzymatic action and hence you perceive it as sweet.
