King Arthur 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 bake into a uniform, tight-crumbed block, which is perfect for consistent sandwich slices.

Yes, you can use the pan without the lid if you prefer a traditional domed top. However, the pan is specifically engineered for use with the lid to achieve that precise, square shape.

The Americoat nonstick finish is PFOA-free and safe for oven temperatures up to 450°F. It is designed to withstand standard baking temperatures while ensuring your loaves release cleanly without needing excessive oil or butter.

This pan is excellent for enriched doughs like brioche or pain de mie, as well as standard sandwich breads. Its structural support also makes it a great choice for gluten-free loaves, which often require more containment during the rise.

To preserve the nonstick coating, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface and compromise the nonstick performance.
