A loaf of banana bread sitting in a loaf pan

A bread pan, also called a loaf pan,^[1] is a kitchen utensil in the form of a container in which bread is baked. Its function is to shape bread while it is rising during baking. The most common shape of the bread pan is the loaf, or narrow rectangle, a convenient form that enables uniform slicing.

Materials

The bread pan is made from a conductive material such as metal which might be treated with a non-stick coating. It can also be made of heat-resistant glass, ceramic, or a special type of paper that sticks to the dough but is easily removed, once cooked.

Bread pans are found in a variety of designs and sizes providing the baker with different possibilities.

Types

Types of bread typically baked in bread pans include sandwich breads, brioche, challah, and raisin bread.
