Bracha Information: Royo Bread

November 11, 2024: From the Central Rabbinical Congress:

"We have received halachic inquires about the increasingly popular Royo Bread which carries out kashrus certification.

• Bracha Rishona: The bracha on the bread is hamotzi as it does include some grain requiring the bracha
• Nitilas Yadayim & birchas hamazon: One slice of bread includes roughly a K'zayis of flour. Therefore:
  • It is recommended that you eat at least 1.5 slices so that you consume the requisite amount for washing and benching.
  • If one only eats a single slice, they should wash their hands and not make the bracha Al Netilas Yadayim (as it is less than a k'beitza). However they are halachically required to say Bircas Hamazon (as it is more than a k'zais)."
