How to bake bread in a glass Pan?
Before you start baking, it’s crucial to prepare your glass pan properly. Greasing and flouring your pan ensures that your bread won’t stick. Start by applying a thin layer of butter or oil, followed by a dusting of flour. Shake off the excess flour, and your pan is ready for the dough.
Are glass pans good for baking bread?
Glass pans are durable and long-lasting. A glass loaf pan can last many years with proper care and handling. They won’t warp, bend or dent as some metal pans do over time. However, baking bread in glass pans definitely has some downsides before diving in. As someone who has tried it, here are a few of the potential cons I encountered:
Do glass pans make bread burnt?
Glass conducts heat differently than metal, so your bread may bake unevenly. Glass pans tend to create hot spots, which can lead to burnt bottoms before the inside is done. You’ll need to adjust the baking time and possibly temperature to get it just right. Glass pans require greasing and sometimes a dusting of flour.
Is a glass Pan the right pan for baking?
That said, any pan is the right pan if it helps you put baked goods in the oven. The standard advice for baking in glass is to lower the oven temperature by 25°F from what the recipe calls for, and bake up to 10 minutes longer.
