The core objective of this study was to prepare iodized bread by using iodized salt and potassium iodide (KI) to fulfill Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of iodine. Triplicate level of each fortificant was added in separate treatments in different concentrations with an aim that 2 slices of bread provide RDI of iodine. The prepared samples were analyzed for stability of iodine by spectrophotometric method and for sensory attributes by panel of judges. Results showed good retention of iodine in bread with 15-20% loss of iodine in final product after processing. A slight level of potassium was increased in treatments in which KI was used while other minerals profile was not affected by fortificants and showed no significant behaviour after examining the results statistically.
