Kitchen Gadgets: Pullman Loaf Pan

 

So What is a Pullman Loaf Pan? I had to get one when I started to make bread. The photo show the pan. It is basically a Covered Bread pan with hole in the bottom of the pan. The holes are to prevent soggy bread bottoms. The top id for a more store bought look, like Wonder Bread. I did use it a few times.. However I found that  I like the dome top better.. So, Now I do not use the top.

Here is the look of the bread.

I read today that I could put the top on for the first 20 minute of the bake then remove it for a better rise and browner top. Will try the next time.
