Pain de Mie 是法语，英语称作Pullman loaf，（因为其形状和美国Pullman Sleeping Car卧车类似）或是Sandwich loaf用来做三明治，或是小点心都可以。平时大家在超市买的切片吐司，大都是Pullman loaf. 如果没有带盖吐司模，那么可以像我一样用蛋糕盘盖住面包。效果一样的。当然专用模子会稍宽一些。不带盖烘烤出半圆形的圆顶吐司，
angiesrecipes感觉也一样。表面刷上层薄薄的蛋液，用175C/350F烘焙。这个方子是最基础的，你可以根据需要调整加入全麦，或加入少许麦麸，或是加入少许黑胡椒；砂糖也可用蜂蜜或枫糖浆来取代，不过水份可以稍微减少一点点。

   每块面团整成吐司状，放入抹少许油脂的烤模里。室温醒发45分钟直到面团距模子边缘约半寸，放上吐司盖子。如果没有带盖吐司模子，那么你可以在面团上面盖上张烤纸，上面再压个蛋糕烤盘就可以了。

   Place the dough balls in a steamer and process the final proof for about 25 minutes. Use the flour during the whole shaping process. Each small dough needs about 15 extra grams of flour to finish the kneading. So that the texture of the steamed buns would appear thick and with clear layers. To obtain a chewy-textured bun, long proofing time at the final stage should always be avoided. Take away the plastic wrap and steam for 20 minutes over medium heat with a lid covered.
