In reply to Deb W. Hello Deb. Sorry for any confusion. All the ingredients listed go into the bowl and are mixed in Step 1 (including the oil). All you need to do is grease a pan with whatever you like to grease with (ideally something that lacks a strong flavor - I usually stick to butter or a neutral oil for this). No flour necessary, it should pop right out afterwards without issue.

In Step 4, you have “place into your greased loaf pan.” On first read, I thought, “with the vegetable oil?” but then reread whole recipe again and saw that the 2 tbsp oil goes into the dough. So, 1) do you grease the pan with a little additional oil (and do you need to flour it?) and 2) do you grease both the bottom and sides of the pan?thanks.

In reply to Asha. Hi Asha, I would stick to all-purpose flour as this is how this recipe was developed. I did not try it with other flours so can't guarantee the success. I hope this helps!

Can this bread be made with a mix of whole wheat and white flour, or completely with whole wheat, rye etc?

In reply to Jim Clapp. Hi Jim! This recipe works great with a pullman pan, but I don't recommend using the lid, so the crumb doesn’t get too compact (or leak out!). Enjoy!

Your recipe sounds wonderful! Can’t wait to try it. I have a pullman pan, but the one time I tried leaving the top on, the dough leaked out and made a little mess. Maybe the dough was too wet, or maybe I made too big a batch. Does this recipe do well in a lidded pan?

In reply to Cynthia. Hi Cynthia! I would suggest baking it for the exact same time, without the lid so the crumb doesn't get too compact. Enjoy!
