It really depends on the bread.In most cases bread has a lot of unnecessary additives or other ingredients hamsters should not have,making it best to avoid the majority of bread.Even if you could find a very simple bread that had entirely safe ingredients with no unspecified or otherwise unsafe preservatives(BHA/BHT/ethoxyquin which are known to cause cancer and unfortunately in many products for humans and pets),no artificial flavors/sugars/dyes(these are all quite unsafe,with some known to be toxic to various animals and others known to cause cancer among other things),no baking soda(this is what really makes finding safe bread impossible,as pretty much any bread would require baking soda to be made),etc then there would still be no major benefit to feeding bread vs feeding a variety of hamster safe seeds or nuts(must be those not found in their main diet otherwise this doesn't really have much benefit)for example.

An occasional piece of toast is perfectly fine. Just make sure there's no salt, butter, or grease. My hamsters and gerbils have always loved toast

I've always given mine toast as a special occasional treat, I tend to go for granary bread lightly toasted with a little bit of butter or melted cheese and mine have all loved it.
