Hamelman's Pullman Bread

Pullman Bread baked today, 4th Feb 2022.

This is Hamelman’s Pullman Bread, a straight dough that can be mixed and baked the same day with no pre-ferments. It is perfect for sandwiches. I mixed a 1 kg dough suitable for my 330-mm (13-inch) pan with the lid. The entire process took about 5 hours. Very happy with the result. I’ll let it cool and slice it later tonight.

Looks great Gavin!  Perfect size for that pan.  How far below the lip when you started the bake?

Hope the crumb is what you are looking for!

Thanks. The top picture was taken just before loading into the oven. Hamelman's instructions said to let the dough rise to about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) from the top.

I'll slice it later today my time :)

 

Crumb shots. Taste was delicate and light, perfect for sandwiches, French toast and canapes.  The baked and cooled loaf was 922-grams, much less water loss than a hearth loaf.

Can you share more info on the brand & type of deli slicer you use?  Thanks!  Candy

Hi Candy. See picture below. There are many similar slicers out there. Make sure you get one with a serrated blade. Cheers, Gavin
