Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'white' (a color/quality) with 'bread' (a food): a B1 learner who knows both words will infer this refers to bread that is white in colour and typically the refined, soft variety. This simple adjective + noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so the phrase is immediately comprehensible from its parts.
Etymology
White bread comes from the image of a loaf made from very pale, processed flour. Because the grain's outer parts are taken away, the loaf looks white and feels soft, so white bread today means bread made from light, processed flour that is often 'low in fiber'.
