English term or phrase: bread loaf
I need a term that distinguishes it from other bread forms, such as bread rolls (smaller in size), bread slices etc.

The best I can come up with is 塊狀麵包 but personally I think it is terrible.

条状面包
Explanation:
通常说a loaf of bread，就是一条面包。直译的话应该是“面包条”，但听起来有些别扭。

法式长条面包/法棍面包


Explanation:
经常在欧美的电影里看见，大大的牛皮纸袋中装一、两根这种面包。

外国人喜欢这东西。我可不喜欢，干干的，硬硬的，家乐福有卖。

  -> loaf在口语中常指长条面包，正式的说法应该是french loaf，请参见http://pewebdic2.cw.idm.fr/ 慎重起见，可以考虑“块状面包”或“条状面包”
neutral  karcsy: 法棍面包 （Baguette）长条面包 (breadstick)

块状面包/一块面包/面包块


Explanation:
Agree with the asker's own translation. Alternatively you could consider '面包块'。A loaf of bread could be any shape, but it's definitely '一块'。
