4x8 is a standard 1 pound loaf. Most bread recipes make 2 one-pound loaves.

@bruceha2000 You may want to knead in a little more flour to get your dough a bit firmer. then it will make a taller loaf. Your photos look like it is a bit stickier than I like to make my bread dough.

That recipe was "no knead". A couple of stretch and folds before rising for 10+ hours and a couple of coil folds before proofing.

That is the first one I made.


I can get any number of them for free! We have 2 glass pans and at least 4 metal ones. They are about 4"x8". I'd have to figure out how much dough to put in each pan so I don't make rectangular muffins.

ETA Oops, just noticed you said French loaf!

The perforated pans make a nice crusty bottom. It also helps to spritz When adding the bread to the oven and again after about 10 minutes later

I too use cheddar but you ruined it for me with the onion.

You're right it probably needs some extra spicy Rotel mixed in with it for fewer onions. Also previously I did mention deli slices as well and those are real cheese.

BTW, glass conducts heat differently than metal. You need to adjust time and temp for glass.

Thanks, I've been lurking for a while and decided to join in. Big fan of King Arthur Flour recipes and currently working on "perfecting" their whole wheat sourdough rye bread.

I know! It's a bit overwhelming, though fun to read through. Such a wide variety of recipes.

The link at the top of the page is updated in real time.

Which reminds me... @N F C have you learned how @sumi did her magic? I'm thinking maybe this or next weekend, it's about time to update the front page again.
