WHITE PULLMAN LOAF (PAIN DE MIE)
You'll never buy supermarket bread again after trying this homemade white bread. Using "enriched dough" (one with milk and eggs) gives this loaf a delicious flavor and velvety soft crumb. (For baking, accurate metric measurements produce the best results, so we recommend using a digital scale for this recipe.)

Steps:
- Starter: Also called pre-ferment, pâte fermentée (a mature pre-ferment, as in this starter), or poolish (which contains commercial yeast, as in this starter), this is the leavening or rising component of the bread baking process. Turn on a digital scale and weigh your empty container. Deduct the weight of the container by pressing the "tare" function, which resets the scale to zero. Add milk to the container, and tare to zero again. Then, continuing to weigh the ingredients, add salt, pinch of yeast, sugar, and flour. Use a chopstick to stir the starter until the dry and wet ingredients are just mixed. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, 6-8 hours.
- Dough: Stir flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a medium bowl, and set aside. Pour milk into the pre-ferment to loosen it. Whisk 2 eggs in a large bowl; then stir in the pre-ferment/milk mixture. Use a rubber spatula to break up the pre-ferment into the liquid. Add the flour mixture and the butter, and continue mixing until most of the dry ingredients have been combined with the starter mixture. Using a wooden spoon, and starting in the middle of the bowl, slowly stir to the edges until most of the flour has been mixed in and hydrated.
- Roll and Tuck: A technique to develop gluten in the dough so it becomes firmer and easier to work with. This is done one time, followed by a resting period. Combine 1 part fine semolina with 5 parts unbleached white flour to make dusting flour, and lightly dust a clean work surface. Using a plastic bowl scraper, push the dough and residual flour out of the bowl onto the work surface. Use the scraper to stretch and gently shape the dough into a rough rectangle (dough will still be sticky). Then, starting at one end, roll and tuck the dough like a tube, about 3-4 times. Flip the dough so it's seam-side up and flatten again to a rectangle in the opposite direction, so the seam stretches from left to right. Repeat rolling and tucking, always returning to a seam-up position. Continue until the dough feels stronger and begins to resist any further rolling, about 10 times. All of the flour will get absorbed into the dough during this process. Shape into a ball and place into a bowl coated with nonstick spray. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, 45 minutes.
- Stretch and Fold: This technique strengthens the dough by folding it over onto itself. This process is repeated 3 times, with a resting period after each stretch and fold. Lightly dust the work surface and your hands with dusting flour. Using the scraper, release the dough from the bowl and place it seam-side down on the work surface. Gently shape into a rectangle, then fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Pat it down slightly, then repeat the same fold in the other direction. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, 45 minutes. For the second stretch and fold, repeat the steps for the first stretch and fold, but this time stretch the dough by flipping back and forth (like pizza dough). Gently reshape it into a rough rectangular shape before folding. Cover with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature, 45 minutes. For the third and final stretch and fold, repeat the steps for the second stretch and fold, cover with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature, 45 minutes.
- Shaping/Fermentation (Proofing): Shape the dough to prepare it for baking, then ferment (proof) it for a period of time to expand the dough and develop flavor. Spray the bottom and sides of a pullman loaf pan with nonstick spray. Lightly dust the work surface and your hands with dusting flour. Press the dough down slightly to de-gas it, then stretch into a 16-inch square (or to whatever length of the pan you're using). Roll the square into a tube. Place the tube seam side down into the prepared pan. Gently tap the dough down with your fist to even it out in the pan, then cover with plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature until the dough rises about 1½ -inches above the surface of the pan, 1½-3 hours.
- Baking: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (preferably convection). Test dough for baking by gently pressing; it should bounce back, leaving a slight dimple. Make an egg wash by whisking the remaining egg with a pinch of salt; add about 1 tablespoon of milk to thin it out. Spray the outer edges of the pan with nonstick spray and use a pastry brush to gently brush egg wash across the top of the dough, twice. (The spray will ensure the egg wash doesn't seep into the corners of the pan.) Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Lower temperature to 385 degrees F. Rotate the pan and bake an additional 12-15 minutes. Test for doneness by removing from oven and giving it a thump on top; it should sound hollow. Tap the pan on the counter to release the loaf; turn it over and carefully remove the bread from the pan. Return the loaf to the oven on its side, and bake directly on the rack to solidify the shape, 5 minutes.
- Cooling, Slicing, and Storing: Transfer bread to a cooling rack (and notice the caramel aroma!). Cool completely before slicing and eating, at least 2 hours. Store loosely in plastic for 7 days.
PULLMAN BREAD PAIN DE MIE
I bought a pullman bread pan years ago. Pain De Mie in french. I finally did a bit of research and made a loaf. This makes square shaped slices great for sandwiches. Way better then store bought bread! This makes a dense white bread that holds up well. Slice it after it has cooled, and keep it in the freezer taking out what is...

Steps:
- 1. A found a little history about this bread pan; The name "Pullman" was derived from its use in the compact kitchens of the Pullman railway cars. The Pullman Company is credited with inventing the lidded baking pans used to create the square loaves. Three Pullman loaves occupied the same space as two standard round-topped loaves, thus maximizing the use of space in the Pullman kitchen.
- 2. Also, in my research, I have found that you can make any white bread recipe you like. The trick with this pan, is using the right amount of dough. I found if you fill it about 1/3 of the pan, the loaf will bake up to the top and create a perfectly square loaf.
- 3. The recipe I share here, is a basic white loaf recipe. If you like, you can half the white flour and substitute whole wheat or other flour. Again, if you do have this pan, try other yeast bread recipes that you like. King Arthur Flour Company has a recipe for this bread. They include a bit of potato flour, which I didnt have, so I used my old stand by basic white bread this time.
- 4. Bread Machine Method: Place all of the ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for Manual or Dough, and press Start. When the cycle is finished, remove the dough and proceed as follows. Lightly grease a 13 x 4-inch pain de mie pan. Transfer the risen dough to a lightly greased work surface, shape it into a 13-inch log, and fit it into the pan. Cover the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise until it's just below the lip of the pan, 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the warmth of your kitchen (it may rise even more slowly in a cool kitchen; don't worry, this long rise will give it great flavor). Remove the plastic, and carefully place the cover on the pan, let it rest an additional 10 minutes while you preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the bread for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, carefully remove the lid, and return the bread to the oven to bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until it tests done. Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely.
- 5. Manual Method: In a large bowl, combine the milk, water, butter, salt and sugar. Add the dried milk, flours and yeast, stirring till the dough starts to leave the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased surface, oil your hands, and knead it for 5 to 8 minutes, or until it's smooth and supple. Because of the relatively high fat content of this dough, it's a real pleasure to work with. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl or dough-rising bucket, cover the bowl or bucket, and allow the dough to rise till puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours, depending on the warmth of your kitchen.
- 6. Mixer Method: Combine the ingredients as above, using a flat beater paddle or beaters, then switch to the dough hook(s) and knead for 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl,cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise till doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours.
PAIN DE MIE (PULLMAN BREAD)
I like this bread because it is flat on six sides. This a French recipe, however, it was served extensively on Pullman railroad cars, hence the name Pullman Bread

PAIN DE MIE
A very special white sandwich bread from a class I took in Craftsy, light, white with a tight crust, perfect for thin slices of bread for sandwiches. Just a little different from other recipes here so wanted to save. This is baked in a special Pullman pan, that I've shown that keeps the bread in the perfect tight crumb, but if baking in a regular pain be sure to brush with an egg white and slash before baking

Steps:
- NOTE: Pain de mie is best made with a mixer.
- Remove butter from fridge and pound it soft with a rolling pin. You won't need to strike it more than 10 or 12 times. Make sure it can take the impression of your finger.
- Combine all ingredients except butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on slow speed for 4 minutes.
- Increase mixer speed to medium, add half the softened butter, nix for 1 minute. Add the remaining softened butter and mix n additional 5 minutes. All the butter should have disappeared into the dough, creating strength and suppleness.
- Cover dough and let it ferment for 1 1/4 hours, folding once after 45 minutes.
- Spray a 13-inch Pullman pan with nonstick spray.
- Carefully turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently de-gas the dough as you pat it into a rectangular shape.
- Divide the rectangle roughly in half. (Its OK if the aren't exactly the same weight).
- Shape each piece in a baguette like rope, about 20 inches long. Lightly twist the ropes together and place in pullman pan.
- Put lid on the pan but leave it open 1-2 inches so you can check progress of dough as it proofs. The dough will require 1 to 1 1.2 hours to achieve full volume. It's ready to bake when the top surface of the dough is about 1/2 inch below the lid of the pan. Close lid completely before baking.
- Bake at 450 F for 10 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 F and bake another 25 minutes. Remove the lid from the pan and bake for another 10 minutes. Check the sidewall of the loaf. They should be solid and golden brown. If they aren't, invert pan and let the pan de mie slide out o a shet pan. Bake for an extra 5 minutes, or until the sidewall have enough structure to hold up the weight of the loaf.

PAIN DE MIE - FRENCH PULLMAN BREAD (ABM)
This recipe comes from King Arthur. I made minor changes to reflect more generic ingredients. According to them, the best bread for thin-slicing is called pain de mie, a butter- and milk-rich loaf baked in a special lidded 13" x 4" x 4" pan. The lid ensures that the baking bread won't expand too much, keeping it very close-grained-and thus totally non-crumbly, and easy to slice. You can use all all-purpose flour without the whole wheat.

Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients, and mix and knead them-by hand, mixer, or bread machine-to form a smooth, supple dough.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl or dough-rising bucket, cover the bowl or bucket, and allow the dough to rise till puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Lightly grease a standard (13 x 4 x 4-inch) lidded pain de mie pan.
- Transfer the risen dough to a lightly greased work surface, shape it into a log, and fit it into the pan. Flatten the top as much as possible. Cover the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise until it's about 1/2-inch below the lip of the pan, about 45 minutes.
- Carefully slip the cover onto the pan, and let it rest an additional 15 minutes while you preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Bake the bread for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, carefully remove the lid, and return the bread to the oven to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until it's golden-brown on top and tests done; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center will register 190°F
- Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely. For a soft, flavorful crust, brush the loaf with melted butter while warm. Yield: 1 loaf.

- Cover the bowl, and let the dough rest for 20 minutes, to give the oats a chance to absorb some of the liquid.
- Then knead — by hand, stand mixer, or bread machine — to make a smooth, soft, elastic dough., Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, or in an 8-cup measure (so you can track its progress as it rises), and let it rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until it's risen noticeably.

PAIN DE MIE RECIPE: 4 TIPS FOR MAKING A PULLMAN LOAF
From masterclass.com
- 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment, combine bread flour, all-purpose flour, and sugar.
- 2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk until lukewarm (100°F to 110°F/37°C to 45°C). The saucepan shouldn’t be so hot that you can’t touch the bottom of the pan. (If the milk is too hot, it can kill the yeast, but if it’s too cool, it won’t incorporate with the other ingredients.)
- 3. In a small bowl, use a fork to whisk the yeast with 1 tablespoon lukewarm (not hot) water to activate the yeast. Let the mixture sit until it’s bubbly, about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, give the yeast mixture a quick whisk with the fork. If it’s foamy, the yeast has activated. If not, start again with a new batch of yeast and lukewarm water.
- 4. Add the yeast mixture, salt, and pepper to the flour mixture. Avoid placing the yeast mixture and salt in direct contact, which can deactivate the yeast. You can sprinkle some of the flour mixture on top of the yeast mixture for insurance.
