What to look for

Questions people ask

What size loaf pan do most recipes use?
Most North American recipes call for a 9 by 5 inch pan. An 8.5 by 4.5 inch pan gives a taller loaf.

Metal heats quickly and gives a lighter crust, while glass and ceramic hold heat longer. Many bakers lower the oven by about 25°F when using glass.
