Bread pan 2-3/4x8-13/16x4-3/4

 

Can someone provide a bread recipe that would fill this bread pan?

My bread pans are labeled 9 5/8 x 5 1/2 x 2 3/4.  If I measure at the top to the outside of the rolled rim the measurements are very close to those measurements,  in inches, but the inside measurement would be less.  The sides are sloped so the bottom measurements would be much less.  For a better figure I suggest you fill the pan with water then pour the water into measuring cups and read the volume, or better, weigh the water in the pan.

My dough weighs about 37 ounces (avoirdupois) per pan.  I let the center of the dome rise about 2 inches above the lip of the pan then slash it before baking. Does this help, or do you still want a recipe?

I just measured the volume of my pan.  It held 1954 g  of water.  That translates to 66 fluid ounces.

Are you measuring or is that the label? I would say that the pan holds a 1-1/2 lb (a pound and a half) of dough. The one Ford mentions is good for 2 lbs of dough.

A little more or less won't matter.

What kind of bread are you looking to make?

Yes, I measured the inner dimensions.

I am using a King Arthur recipe titled Clay's Multigrain Sourdough Sandwich Bread.  It was a 2 lb loaf which did not totally fill the pan.  The recipe mentioned that the bread would be dense which it was and was probably the reason for not being a larger loaf.  I will try again and increase the recipe size by 1/4.

If you have any ideas, please advise.
