'''''Pain de mie''''' ({{IPA|fr|pɛ̃ də mi|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-Poslovitch-pain de mie.wav}}) is a white or brown [bread](/source/bread) with a thin, soft crust. It is mostly sold sliced and packaged in France. {{Lang|fr|Pain}} is the [French](/source/French_language) word for "bread", and {{Lang|fr|la mie}} is the soft part of bread, called the [crumb](/source/Bread) in [English](/source/English_language).

==Description==
''Pain de mie'' is most similar to a [pullman loaf](/source/pullman_loaf), or to regular [sandwich bread](/source/sandwich_bread). ''Pain de mie'' usually has [sugar](/source/sugar) in it,{{cn|date=November 2022}} which makes it sweeter than most [French bread](/source/French_bread)s. This bread is usually used for making [sandwiches](/source/sandwiches), or for toasting. It can be baked in a sealed pan, which prevents [crust](/source/Bread) from forming.<ref>[https://www.meilleurduchef.com/cgi/mdc/l/fr/recette/pain-mie.html# "Pain de mie"] (2015) Meilleur du Chef (French)</ref> If not baked in a sealed pan, the crust can be cut off (as done in factories before packaging). ''Pain de mie'' is sold in rounded or rectangular shapes.
