What type of bread is Pullman?

Pullman bread (pain de mie) is a soft, fine-crumb loaf baked in a lidded pan for square slices.

It’s harder to grow, yields less per acre, and requires special milling, making it costlier.

The name comes from its popularity on Pullman train cars, where the shape saved space and stacked neatly.

This Einkorn Bread Pullman recipe creates a soft, nutty, perfectly square loaf that’s nutrient-rich and ideal for sandwiches or toast.
