PAIN DE MIE / Pullman Bread


PAIN DE MIE (fr.) Lit. Crumb Bread / This is french for sandwich bread or pullman loaf or loaf of bread. Either way this is a bread that has been baked in a sealed pan (bread box or pullman mold). The one in the picture baked by my MOM : ) !!!! Is a honey wheat bread that was MMM!!!!! The mold is a 1/2 Lb. mold which is rare since the molds come in 1 1/2, 2 and 3 Lbs. from what I've read. The mold was inherited by my mom from a professional baker friend that retired long ago. The mold must be around 50 + yrs. old but still works as new.
