***450 F not 350!!!
I ditched my Dutch oven and am now a convert to a loaf pan too.
I only do loaf pan now. I haven’t done Dutch oven in a long time now. My family likes it that way much better so not sure I’ll ever do Dutch oven again.
Beautiful
I find this very convenient compared to Dutch oven method, we especially love the perfect rectangular slices that fit the toaster.
I swear my DO is causing a gummy loaf. When I bake it in mini loaf pans I don’t have that problem
