GIVEAWAY: Urban Homemaker’s Magical Tinware Bread Pans

As we poke along through the less intensive sourdough recipes this week, we’re moving toward the grand finale on Friday: the whole wheat bread.  Whole wheat bread is notorious for being dense, flat, and difficult to work with.  Sourdough adds the complication of a very slow rise.

I will tell you everything I’ve learned about sourdough bread baking soon, but I just have to share with you my absolute favorite new bread gadget.  I got some bread pans from Urban Homemaker for Christmas that have revolutionized my whole wheat sourdough.tinware bread pans

I suppose I can’t claim that these pans are magical, but I’m telling you: the first time I used them was my first success with a good sourdough rise, and I’m not going to try anything else from now on!

The pans are 1/2-inch deeper than a regular pan, and I have the shortest length at 8”, so there’s just more room for your bread dough to rise UP and less room for flatness.  It works!  Tinware is a safe material, which was a step up from the Teflon surface I was using before my awesome mother got them for me for Christmas.  My mom did the safety research on this one, and I’m just trusting her judgment.  You can trust her, too!  The pans are interesting – you don’t use water to clean them at all, just wipe them out with a clean towel and you’re done. 

Look at the beautiful rise on these loaves!IMG_8687

Sometimes the bread even OVERrises before I can catch it!

The material is folded to make the shape, and water would certainly get inside the folds and cause problems. You know me – I just like skipping dishes!  You just need to be aware that you wouldn’t use these pans for a quick bread, because the batter would also get in between the layers of tin on the walls of the pan.

See how narrow the loaves are at the bottom? This wasn't a perfect rise, but I could have waited longer if I wanted to.

The pans leave funny indentations all over, adding character to your bread in my opinion!

When you do get a perfect rise, you get this great shape at the top, just like store bread!
