Description
- A rectangular baking pan, sometimes referred to as a loaf pan.
- Standard sizes for bread pans:
- 8 ½ x 4 ¼ x 3 1/8-inch holds 5 cups
- 9 x 5 x 3-inch holds 8 cups
- 5 ½ x 3 x 2 ½-inch holds 2 cups
- Bread pans may be made from aluminum, stainless steel or glass.
Substitutions
- When you don't have the right size bread pan substitute a pan with similar capacity. Fill the pan ½ full but never more than 2/3 full so the bread has room to rise. The baking time may need to be changed.
- If substituting mini loaf pans in place of a larger bread pan, fill each mini loaf pan ½ full. Decrease baking time by ½ and check at that point for doneness. Continue baking, if necessary, checking doneness every five minutes.
Tips
- To determine pan size, measure length and width of the pan across the top inside. Measure height from the inside of the pan, holding a ruler straight up from the bottom.
- To prevent a loaf from sticking, always follow the recipe directions for greasing or spraying the pan with no stick cooking spray.
