After making our batch of lemon drizzle batter and filling the tin, we noticed the tin looked very full. A former bakery owner noted that “most of my breads lose about 12% in baking…Drier doughs lose less, wetter doughs lose more.
The weight of the loaf will depend on the type of bread you’re making too: “Within yeasted breads, density will play a role when determining pan size. Please beware the difference between internal and external measurements, since a protruding lip will affect measurements - try to ignore this when measuring. Despite the smaller dimensions of the 1lb tin, the depth and density of your 1lb loaf made with half the mixture will not be that dissimilar to that of the 2lb loaf.He gives the dough weights for starting points - 450-550g for small loaves and 850-950 for the large ones - and my scaling is more or less in the middle of that range and I get good results from them. With a heavy-duty aluminised steel construction, the loaf tin is strong, hardwearing and resistant to warping, withstanding temperatures in the oven of up to 260C/500F. I have several that are different dimensions, some short and long others high and narrow, I have come across some recipe sites that mention measurements but the tins are wider at the top than the bottom so where do you measure them, others talk about a 1lb or 2lb tin how do I know ? Made from heavy gauge carbon steel, the durable and sturdy springform tin provides excellent heat conduction for even cooking results with a rolled edge at the top and bottom for added strength and rigidity. The cake batter should not come more then two-thirds of the way up the sides of the tin, any higher and there is a risk that the batter will overflow as it rises during baking.
There are loaf cakes, of course – try lime and pistachio loaf cake, Maltesers marble cake or Vietnamese coffee loaf cake. Whether you’re baking a small loaf for your family’s breakfast, fruity tea bread for elevenses or gingerbread for afternoon tea, this Mary Berry Loaf Tin will come up trumps every time.Please note under the Criminal Justice Act 1988, we are only allowed to sell knives to persons aged 18 and over. This generously sized loaf tin from Circulon is a lightweight offering with ultra-handy lips at the top and bottom of the cake tin. With a high abrasion resistance, it is perfectly safe to use metal utensils without damaging the tin while distributing and retaining heat for consistent results every time. The lack of lip made turning the cake out a little bit of a fiddly process, yet it slipped out of the tin easily with no sticking at all. If your first experiment with your chosen tin size was not successful, you may need to try the recipe again but also altering the oven temperature.
The tin sizes are on the "More Information" tab so you can get an idea of volume from that to compare to others. Non-stick coating: While you may still opt to line your tin, a quality non-stick pan will make removing your cake or loaf a lot easier, while also allowing the sides of your bake to brown nicely. There are a few care instructions that we'd like to make you aware of, to ensure your bakeware remains in the best possible condition. Hi, I made your Chocolate Orange Loaf Cake (Kitchen, p308) today and found that the mixture rises so much above my tin that it falls onto the bottom of my oven.
Handcrafted in the UK – individually pressed, shaped and finished, anodised aluminium promotes efficient heat conduction and temperature distribution – preventing hot spots/scorching and reducing cooking times. It may be tempting to put the full quantity of mixture into the 1lb loaf tin at once but with eggs and baking powder in the mixture, your cake should rise. Every time I try to make the Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake receipie from "Domestic Godess" (p166) it explodes over the oven like a volcano!
My guess is the term “1 lb pan” originates from professional bakers working with yeasted dough, since when they divide dough up after bulk fermentation, it’s usually divided by weight. Made in the UK, this 1lb loaf tin offers an exceptional non-stick double layer coating for excellent food release and ease of cleaning.We would suggest approximately 50 minutes for the 1lb loaf rather than the full hour for the 2lb loaf - perhaps check by sight and smell after 40 minutes to be sure. Food is released flawlessly and intact, allowing you to cook with little or no added grease, oil or parchment paper for healthier results. If you have smaller (450g/1 lb) tins then it would be better to divide the batter between two tins and bake for a slightly shorter time (start checking the cake after 30 minutes and bake until it feels just firm on top, but a cake tester/skewer/toothpick should come out with some damp crumbs clinging on rather than completely clean). The sizing conventions and units for loaf pans are all over the place and I too wish there was just one unit used. Looking not dissimilar to the ProCook loaf tin above, this tin is a good option if you favour the appearance of wider cakes.
Great Deal
