Hi,

For those of you who bake pan loaf bread I would like to survey your 
pan sizes and how much dough you place in the pan.

The size of the pans I am using are 9" x 5". The sides are NOT 
perpendicular to the bottom but rather angle out slightly from the 
bottom to the top. The volume of the pan (to the top edge) is 64 oz 
(measured with water).

To get a nice sandwich style loaf size how much dough should I place 
in the pan? If the dough rise is 1 1/2 to 2 times I am thinking I 
would use 32-36 oz of dough. However, this seems like a lot of dough 
for one pan loaf. Is this in line with what other home bakers are using?

Thanks for the insight.
Tom
