We had previously bought a Tefal Snackmaker and a selection of plates to use with it, and one of the plates that came with it was for toasted sandwiches. It worked OK, but I thought a pullman would produce the perfect sized slices.
The pullman tins arrived, I didn't use them straightaway, we were using the Tefal for waffles etc and the urge for toasties had passed, and we forgot all about it.
I want to make some lovely finger sandwiches for Friday. We're going to sit in the front garden in the afternoon and have a cream tea (well, sandwiches anyway), and I thought how much easier - and less wasteful - it would be to make a pullman shaped loaf. I could trim the crusts, and then cut each sandwich in half, making the perfect finger sandwich.
So I dug out the tin, and made a trial loaf today. My brother had given me some Cotswold Crunch flour to try, and it was very pleasant. Although it doesn't look it, it's a white flour. It has malt added which gives it an orangey brown colour and a lovely smell, and it has wheatflakes added to give it some crunch. I added caraway seeds, because bread with caraway is just wonderful. My brother had tried it with caraway and recommended it highly.
I've just tried a slice. Heaven!
