Made Pain de Mie yesterday using Maurizio Leo’s recipe in The Perfect Loaf! I forgot how much I missed soft bread. The mild sourness of this bread melds perfectly with the butter, and the crumb is pillowy soft. Give it a shot! It’s a nice reset 🙂 The recipe can also be found here:

In terms of process, I followed his recipe exactly, although next time I might attempt a cold proof instead of a same-day bake. I found that this bread ended up being a whole-day process, which I’m not a fan of.
I want to try this. It looks great!
Been wanting to try to find a recipe for this kind of loaf. Thank you!
Sourdough sandwich loaves are our personal faves 😁 make at least 2/week
Yours looks miles better than the recipes too!
I can never achieve that “store bought” shape that you have there, looks great!
I love making sammie style sourdough. Easier to make sandwiches with, actually sell more of this style
Looks good!
But it should be!
For loaf pans, how long do you preheat the oven? I’m assuming you do not preheat it with the pan inside like a Dutch oven?
Perfect loaf is a fav of mine. I love his book. His other sandwhich loaf recipe also works really well i a bread machine
I’ve been wanting to try that recipe!
Yum !!! I’m gonna make this tomorrow
FYI, if you hate crusty bread, the answer is more steam and storing said loaf in a glad bag!
Or, you know, just crushing a loaf while it’s still warm. 🙂
Yes!! Your thoughts echo a conversation I had with my husband awhile back and since then, I’ve been on the hunt for a softer sourdough. Appreciate this!! ☺️
I use my discard every week for sandwich bread and bagels! Love the added nutrients, fiber and probiotics, plus, it’s so much more useful throughout the week than a crusty loaf.
The active starter can make sandwich bread, too. Overnight levain with some stretch and folds in the morning. After a good rise you have a loaf or two. So good!
Edit: also makes great (and healthier) brownies, cookies, pizza, dough, granola, and more.
I just made sandwich bread yesterday in my bread pan as well, it was DELICIOUS! My husband doesn’t want to go back to store bought.
I have a sourdough milk bread I make at least weekly, it is soft and a little tangy and delicious!
Is the crust still crusty, or is that soft, too?
