Chicago Metallic 44650 Pullman Pan

A Pullman pan, also known as a 'sandwich loaf' pan, features a rectangular shape with straight sides and a lid. This design forces the dough to rise vertically and creates a uniform, square-shaped loaf with a tight, consistent crumb structure that is ideal for slicing.

Yes, this pan includes a sliding lid. Using the lid is essential for achieving the classic square shape, as it restricts the dough's rise and creates a flat top.

The pan features a professional-grade glazed finish designed for easy release and durability. While it is robust, we recommend using silicone or wooden tools to preserve the coating and avoid scratching the surface.

A 16-inch Pullman pan is quite large and typically requires a substantial amount of dough—usually enough for a 2-pound loaf or larger. If you are scaling up a standard 1-pound sandwich bread recipe, you may need to double it to ensure the loaf fills the pan properly.

Absolutely. If you remove the lid, the dough will rise over the top, resulting in a traditional rounded loaf shape rather than a square one. It functions perfectly as a standard rectangular baking pan.
