    27 Bread Recipes You Can Make in Your 13x9—No Loaf Pan Needed (2024)

    FAQs

    What can I bake bread in if I don't have 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.

    Can you substitute a loaf pan? ›

    Round Pans

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

    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.

    Can you bake a loaf of bread without a loaf pan? ›

    Yes, you can use a cake pan instead. Otherwise, use a cookie sheet but shape the dough well and place it in the middle.

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

    Loaf and Bundt pans, for example, are about half the area of 8-inch and 9-inch square pans, but the sides are taller so usually you can substitute one for another. The most important thing to note is that you can always round up when converting a recipe – you may just have some leftover batter.

    How many loaf pans equal a 9x13? ›

    A 9×13 baking dish. The batter that fills two loaf pans is perfect for one baking dish. We didn't even need to adjust the cooking time that much; since the baking dish is more shallow, it bakes in about the same time as a loaf pan, even though it's bigger.

    What is a 9x13 baking dish equivalent to? ›

    Alternative baking pan sizes: your takeaways

    A recipe written for a 9” x 13” pan can also be made in two 9” round pans; one 9” round and one 8” round, or two 8” round pans.

    Can I 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 you bake bread in a basket? ›

    Only for proofing, never for baking!

    A proofing basket, the name says it all, is only meant to let the dough proof, so it is not a replacement for a baking tin and can never go into the oven. We do not wash our baskets, we shake off excess flour after each use and let them dry in a warm and moisture-free place.

    What is the difference between farmhouse bread and normal bread? ›

    The term 'farmhouse' implies an old-fashioned, in an unrefined style of baking, similar to the breads that were commonly baked by farmers way back when. This bread is denser and chewier than that of store-brand breads. Due to the use of freshly milled, whole grain flours, natural yeast, and slow fermentation.

    What can I use instead of a 2lb loaf tin? ›

    Using a 1lb tin in place of a 2lb tin

    As its name suggests, a 1lb loaf tin takes half the amount of dough of a 2lb loaf tin. If you only have a 1lb loaf tin, we recommend either halving the quantities in the recipe or making all the mixture and baking two 1lb cakes one after the other.

    Is a bundt pan equal to a loaf pan? ›

    If the recipe calls for a loaf or tube pan, it's likely the batter will also do well in a similarly deep pan that has some support, such as a bundt pan. Or, if the cake is baked in a flat pan, like a rimmed baking sheet, than you're probably fine baking in a relatively shallow 2-inch-deep pan.

    What is the difference between a loaf pan and a bread pan? ›

    A bread pan, also called a loaf pan, is a kitchen utensil in the form of a container in which bread is baked. Its function is to shape bread while it is rising during baking. The most common shape of the bread pan is the loaf, or narrow rectangle, a convenient form that enables uniform slicing.

    What pan can I make bread in? ›

    A loaf pan is a rectangular pan that's designed for baking loaves of bread and can be made from metal, glass, and stoneware. They're often used to make yeasted sandwich bread, and they're key for desserts like banana bread or pound cake.

    What is the best pan to bake homemade bread in? ›

    Metal pans, usually aluminized or anodized steel, are the obvious choices for loaf pans thanks to their excellent heat conduction and heat retention. You can find them with or without a nonstick coating, and when possible, we would recommend going with the former.
