Carpe Diem Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've ordered the Nutramill. Now, I need the bread pans. I don't have any. Yes, I'm going from never making any bread to trying to grind my wheat and make bread. I looked in one store today. All the pans had sloping ends. I think I want straight up and down sides. Or don't I? Any links to good pans? Does glass work well? Any links to all the past bread making tips? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmegan Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The Baker's Catalog is the end-all be-all of bread-baking supplies. They have a special pan with flat sides and a top so you have a perfectly square loaf. I kind of like the slope-sided ones, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 mine are glass with sloping edges too. Try looking at the King Arthur Flour website. They carry the Chicago Metalic line (amoung others). They can be pretty expensive - but they are always a great place to start researching. They also have a baker's hotline you can call with any baking question. They have been very helpful to me!

Kelli in TN Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 My favorite is my stone pan from Pampered Chef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also go to www.bobsredmill.com and find lots of resources, including recipes and bakeware. I have purchased pans from Bob's and really love them. Along with the traditional bake pans, I really like the baguette pans for dinner breads. My family just loves it when I bake baguettes. Happy baking!

*anj* Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Welcome aboard!! I agree that you can find all kinds of great pans at King Arthur. Also check Breadbeckers and other sites because their prices might be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin in Tx Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 My advice would be to look at the size of the pan and the height of the sides, not the slope. Especially when you're first starting out, an 8 X 4 is easier to get good results with than an 8.5 X 5. And 2.5 inch sides are better than 2 in sides. IMO, slope is not as important as these two dimensions. Dark heavy metal is best... better than glass and much better than stainless steel which I have not been pleased with. Not at all. Good luck! Once you get the hang of it, you'll be baking all the time! Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shanna Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Check out The Urban Homemaker. I find that bread comes out easier on a well buttered metal pan. Only thing is you get a darker crust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy g. Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've been baking bread for years, but I just started baking it in my big cast iron skillet. I like how it comes out much better than what I make in the glass bread pans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Wisc Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I buy my pans at the local hardware store--aluminum or glass. LOL! Cheap and still work. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
