Cindy in FL. Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I want to make focaccia bread and it calls for a jelly roll pan. Is that the same as a cookie sheet with sides? I know. I'm a maroon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Either should be fine for focaccia. A cookie sheet has one side curved up for lifting, but the other sides are flat, so that you can slide a spatula horizontally under the cookies to remove them. A jelly roll pan has low rims on each side, so that when you cook a batter, it won't ooze over the edge. Since bread dough holds its shape, it should be fine on a cookie sheet.

Cindy in FL. Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 So the pans with sides that I have always called cookie sheets are actually jelly roll pans? Who'd a thunk it! Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Peregrine Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I call them cookie sheets, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I've always thought of 'cookie sheet' as a general term for the entire class. A jelly roll pan specifically has sides all around, and sides high enough--1/4-1/2"--to bake a thin cake that is rolled with filling in the middle. Focaccia is a wet dough, so they are probably saying they want a pan where it won't run off the edge if you're close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 A cookie sheet does not have sides. A jelly roll sheet does....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy in FL. Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 You learn something new everyday! I'm just glad I don't have to buy a new pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I always thought the difference was that one has a label that says "cookie sheet" on it, and the other one has a label that says, "jelly roll pan." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In The Great White North Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I always thought the difference was that one has a label that says "cookie sheet" on it, and the other one has a label that says, "jelly roll pan." Apparently, so do the manufacturers: http://www.amazon.com/Good-Cook-Non-Stick-Cookie-Sheet/dp/B0026RHI3M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1384452447&sr=8-2&keywords=cookie+sheet http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Recipe-Right-Jelly-Inches/dp/B000NNHRWI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1384452548&sr=8-3&keywords=jelly+roll+pan Or the all-in-one version: http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Nonstick-Inch-Cookie-Sheet-Jelly/dp/B000SSS26I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1384452548&sr=8-2&keywords=jelly+roll+pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
