Every 100 kcal of multigrain bread brings 5.1 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 7th of the 111 grains in this database and 468th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 13.4 g per 100 g ranks 7th in its group.
Around 20% of the calories in multigrain bread come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
Weight for weight, multigrain bread has 3.2 g of protein for each gram of fat (13.4 g against 4.23 g per 100 g).
Set against bran flakes, another grain entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g less protein (bran flakes has 4 g per 1 cup).
It is an incomplete protein on its own; pairing it with other plant foods across the day covers the full range of essential amino acids. The serving quoted here is counted by piece at 26 g, and it covers about 7% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
Blending grains and seeds improves the amino acid balance over a single grain.

13.4 g. The 1 regular slice serving used on this page weighs 26 g and so carries 3.5 g.
How much protein do you get per 100 calories of multigrain bread?
5.1 g. That figure divides its 13.4 g of protein per 100 g by its 265 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
Is the protein in multigrain bread complete?
No. On its own, the protein in multigrain bread is short of at least one essential amino acid; other protein sources across the day fill the gap.
What share of the protein Daily Value is one serving of multigrain bread?
About 7%. One 1 regular slice serving has 3.5 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
