Pain de mie is a type of sliced, packaged bread.
"Pain" in
French means "bread" or "loaf of bread" and
"mie" means "crumb." In English
pain de mie is most identical to
pullman loaf or regular
sandwich bread. This bread has sugar in it, which makes it sweeter than most French breads, and even with the sugar
pain de mie is still not as sweet as most American breads. This bread usually used for making sandwiches or for toasting. It can be baked in a sealed pan, which prevents crust from forming. If not baked in a sealed pan, the crust can be cut off (as done in factories before packaging).
Pain de mie is sold in rounded or rectangular shapes. More information on
