Pain de mie is a type of sliced packaged bread. Le pain in French means bread or loaf of bread and la mie refers specifically to the soft part of bread called the crumb. In English pain de mie is most similar to pullman loaf or regular sandwich bread. This bread has sugar in it which makes it sweeter than most French breads though even with the sugar pain de mie is still not as sweet as most American breads. This bread is usually used for making sandwiches or for toasting.
