Bread is carbohydrate, specifically starch. As we masticate, amylase is produced by the saliva which converts starch to maltose which is a sugar. Hence bread tastes sweet on mastication.
Bread tastes sweet on mastication (chewing) because the enzymes in saliva begin converting the starch in bread to sugar.
