Answer:

glucose

Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks to evolution, there's an enzyme in our spit called amylase which specifically cuts up starch and turns it back into small sugar molecules. This is why the bread starts to taste sweet after lots of chewing - the amylase enzyme is breaking down the starch and turning it into glucose.
