Know before you buy
The Pullman pan includes a sliding lid that restricts the dough's rise, forcing it to fill the corners of the pan. This results in the signature square-shaped slices and a fine, uniform crumb structure ideal for sandwich bread.
Yes, black steel is not stainless and requires seasoning to build a natural non-stick patina and prevent rust. You should hand wash the pan, dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning, and lightly oil it before storing.
Absolutely. You can bake with the lid off if you prefer a traditional domed loaf or a rustic crust. The lid is optional and can be removed whenever you want to achieve a different loaf shape.
This pan is designed for a 1.5-pound loaf. Using the correct amount of dough is important to ensure the lid closes properly and the bread has enough room to proof without overflowing.
The lid is designed to slide easily along the tracks to allow for expansion during the proofing and baking process. It should fit securely enough to contain the dough but remain loose enough to slide smoothly.
