King Arthur Baking Company Pullman Loaf Pan

The lid is essential for creating the signature square shape of a Pullman loaf. By containing the dough as it rises, the lid forces the bread to fill the corners of the pan, resulting in uniform, flat-topped slices perfect for sandwiches.

Yes, you can bake with the lid off if you prefer a rounded top, similar to a traditional loaf pan. However, the tall, straight sides are specifically designed to support the structure of the loaf, so your bread will still have a distinct, professional shape.

No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the nonstick Americoat coating and ensure the pan lasts for years, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.

The 9-inch pan is ideal for standard-sized sandwich loaves using 3-4 cups of flour, while the 13-inch pan is better suited for larger batches using 5-6 cups of flour. Choose the size based on the volume of dough your favorite recipes typically produce.

While the Americoat coating is highly effective, we still recommend lightly greasing the pan before baking. This ensures an effortless release, especially for enriched doughs like brioche or sticky quick breads.

This pan is oven-safe up to 450°F. This range covers almost all standard bread and quick bread recipes, including those that require a high initial heat for a good oven spring.
