I was gifted a 9 inch pullman loaf pan and after many attempts, I finally filled the corners!

    Just don’t start building a house with it, decorating with confectionery embellishments and luring children in to be your slaves/future meals.

    As a bread technologist by first education, this is an awesome brick!

    Bet you’ll have wonderful toast with it. But also, we need the picture of a crumb!

    P.S. Found it! Looks decent, now the goal is to make pores more even! A tiny bit of extra butter should do the trick ;)

      Thanks! I’m halfway through at this point and it’s giving me great toast and making great grilled cheeses.

      And thanks for the tip, I’ll try upping the butter a little next time!

    For centuries mankind has yearned to know the precise volume measurements of a humble bread

    I love my pullman pan and the nice dense loaf, but no one else around me seems to! 😅

    They seem to think it’s too close to plain store bread or they don’t like that it’s homemade bread without the crusty outside. Thus it doesn’t get as much use as I’d like, sigh.

    Always enjoy running into other pullman fans in the wild though!

      I was raised on white bread, so this definitely scratches an itch for me. Luckily everyone I live with is fine with whatever I want to make.

        That’s what I don’t get. I was raised on Wonder type bread, and to me, this is the gourmet version of that. They all act like this is too fancy for white bread but too boring for fancy bread.

        No accounting for taste with some folks! 😉

        Maybe I’ll bust out my pan and make a loaf this weekend. I will enjoy it by myself if that’s what I gotta do!

    Now you have me wanting croutons…

    1. Take a fluffy egg pullman loaf (I don’t know, I’m not a baker. The bread company just calls it ‘egg pullman’)
    2. Chop it into 1in/2.5cm cubes
    3. Douse it in butter and a bit of seasoning
    4. Chuck it on a sheet pan and stick it in the oven on low until dry

    They crunch when you bite them and then melt in your mouth…

    Fun fact! The pullman loaf is named after a railroad guy who wanted more efficient storage in his dining cars. He developed the lidded pan so that he’d have consistent bread that packed densely.

      I’ll never not be happy about referencing Bleach. Yes that is the only way to eat such a loaf.
