A loaf a bread is about 2 tablespoons of sugar, which is needed to feed the yeast.

Two tablespoons of sugar is an insane amount. Having baked bread myself I can confidently tell you you don't need to add any sugar to the dough for it to rise. You need a pinch of salt to stop it tasting weird though.
sliced bread aka american bread different from "rustic" bread or the typical european one
