The process of cooling down converts starches in rice, pasta, potatoes etc... to a more resistant forms that your body cannot process easily.

Does chilling also work to convert bread starches into resistant ones, or does it only work for rice and potatoes?
GP mentioned bread specifically. I looked up some studies, and they are in agreement: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17426743/
A starch is a starch.

However, this study seems to compare freshly baked bread to a frozen/toasted one.

I'd guess that the difference will be smaller when regular store-bought bread is used instead.
