    6:00 AM – levain – 26g starter, 52g flour, 52g water

    12:00 PM – autolyse – 650g bread flour, 450g water, mix until combined

    2:00 PM – dough mix – 130g levain, 1100g autolyse, 11g salt. Knead 5-10 mins

    Stretch and fold every 30 minutes (4 total)

    7:00 PM – pre-shape dough on counter w/ flour into a boule

    7:20 PM – shape dough [as you would any sandwich loaf](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx5I5O_RoeI), then gently roll out with hands to fit 13″ pan form. lightly flour loaf, put in oiled pan and put in fridge overnight.

    sometime the next morning – take dough out of fridge and allow to rise on counter for 1-2 hours. For me, the dough was filling about 70% of the pan before I baked.

    Bake @ 450F for 25 minutes with the pan lid on. Ensure that the lid is also oiled.

    Bake @ 400F for 20 minutes with the lid off.

    Thank you for this! I have to make a Pullman loaf in this same sized pan for a dinner this week and could not find reliable guidance on dough weight, this is super helpful!!

    I make these loaves too and I insist on calling them Pullmans even if I get odd looks.

    It’s a Pullman!

    Looks perfect to me.

    This is on my list to try. I have the pan but haven’t used it.
