    FAQs

    How to make a loaf of bread without a loaf pan? ›

    Another common item that can be used instead of a loaf pan to bake bread would be a baking sheet. You can utilize parchment paper or make sure that the baking sheet is greased before placing any dough on it. This will prevent the dough from sticking.

    What other uses are there for a loaf pan aside from baking loaf bread? ›

    The classic long, rectangular shape and deep size of a loaf pan makes it the clear choice for recipes like sandwich bread, pound cake and meat loaf. But those aren't the only ways to use this versatile baking dish. It's also great for unexpected dishes from enchiladas to semifreddo.

    What to use instead of a loaf pan for banana bread? ›

    Square pan – This here is the game changer. I bake the banana bread in a 9×9 square cake pan instead of a loaf pan.

    What dish to bake bread in? ›

    I like to use a 4 or 5-quart Dutch oven or a 3.2-quart combo cooker for baking bread. These sizes are large enough to accommodate most bread recipes. If you have a larger Dutch oven, that will work just fine, too.

    What size pan can I use if I don't have a loaf pan? ›

    Round Pans

    6×2 inch round pan holds 4 cups of batter, the same as an 8×4 inch loaf pan.

    How do you make a loaf pan? ›

    Grease the loaf pan thoroughly using shortening, cooking oil, or butter. Spread it evenly on the bottom and all sides of the pan using your fingers or a folded paper towel. If you are baking a sweet dessert bread, stop here; the pan is ready to be used.

    How long to bake a 13x9 cake? ›

    For a 9×13-inch sheet cake, bake for 36-40 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. With either size, make sure you rotate the cake pan once or twice during bake time. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan placed on a wire rack.

    Can you use an 8x8 pan instead of a loaf pan? ›

    Quick Conversions: The 8x8” Baking Dish can substitute as a 9” round cake pan, a 9x5 loaf pan, or a deep-dish Pie Dish. Halved recipes intended for 9x13 rectangular baking dishes are also compatible.

    Can I use a bundt pan instead of 9x13? ›

    Which Bundt pan is best for a 9" x 13" cake recipe? A. Joanne, bake your recipe calling for a 9″ x 13″ pan (or two 9″ round pans) in either a 10-cup or 12-cup Bundt pan. Increase the baking time by about 30% in the 10-cup pan, somewhat less in the 12-cup.

    Can you bake bread on a stove top? ›

    Put the pot over medium-low heat and cook until the internal temperature of the bread registers 200 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pot for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool completely.

    Do I have to use a loaf pan for bread? ›

    Many bread recipes don't require any special pan. Rolls, boules (that's a round loaf of bread), braided loaves and many soda breads are baked right on a sheet pan—no loaf pan required. If you want to bake bread on a cookie sheet, look for breads that retain their shape (you don't want overly soft doughs here).

    Can I use a cake tin for bread? ›

    Use alternative tins

    You could arrange the roll shapes you make in a round sandwich cake tin, lined and greased, making sure they're snugly all together. Prove and then bake in the tin to make a great tear and share loaf.

    How do you make a loaf pan with parchment paper? ›

    How to Make a Parchment Paper Liner for a Loaf Pan. Start by flipping your loaf pan upside-down. Then, get a piece of parchment paper that hangs roughly 2 or 3 inches over the base on all sides. Fold the edges of the parchment paper over the ends, as if you were wrapping a gift, folding in the corners.

    What can I use if I don't have a loaf pan for meatloaf? ›

    If you've found that you don't typically like meatloaf made in a loaf pan, you may find that trying it in a sheet pan may be a better option for you and vice versa!

    How do you fold bread into a loaf pan? ›

    Use a bench knife and your hand and flip the round over. Fold the bottom up to the middle. Then fold each side, left and right, over to the other to form what looks like an open envelope in front of you. Then, grab the top and fold it up and down to just above the middle.
