Pullman

Pullman is a type of bread, specifically a soft, white sandwich loaf baked in a rectangular pan with a lid. This "pullman loaf" shape results in a uniform, square slice with a fine, even crumb. It is typically made from enriched wheat flour, water, yeast, and a small amount of fat and sugar.

Pullman bread is favored for making sandwiches because its uniform shape and soft texture allow for neat, consistent slices. It is often used in deli-style sandwiches, school lunches, and for French toast due to its ability to absorb liquids well. Manufacturers use it as a base for a wide variety of pre-packaged sandwiches.

Pullman bread is made from enriched flour, which means certain B vitamins and iron have been added back after processing. The FDA considers enriched flour a safe and standard ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated the safety of common bread ingredients. At typical consumption levels, Pullman bread is not associated with adverse health effects.
