Looking for extra wide loaf pan

Greetings,

I'm looking for an extra wide pan to bake a loaf similar in size to what a Pepperidge Farms or Brownberry offers.  These loaves seem to be about 5-1/2" at the bottom and I'm having trouble locating anything that size commercially.  Can anyone please point me to an option?

Thanks,

Scott

I use a rectangular Corning ware pan that I had and have since bought multiple others at local thrift stores. Perfect for a nice widepan loaf. It is more squared off that Brownberry and such but it is my favorite for sandwich loaves. One slice makes a nice sized sandwich or 2 makes a nice large sandwich.

Hey! Thanks for the note! I welcome all suggestions : )

I'm just really surprised how difficult it is to find these dimensions...or maybe it's just me : )

Scott,  I think you want a pound and a half loaf size.  Take a look at all of the different bread pans webstaurantstore carries.  I have had a lot of luck buying from these folks for our church.  A few problem but they have always fixed them right away.  I have been using them from about 2013, no connection except as a customer.  We live in the boonies and the regular restaurant supply folks don't want to deal with the church because we don't buy ever week.

Google farmhouse loaf tins, Scott. They are mainly sold in UK and take about a week to deliver to Canada or the US.

Masterclass has a variety of sizes all with wide proportions but they are deeper. 3lb ones are about 5.1" wide, 4lb one are even wider

A wide farmhouse tin as shallow as Pepperidge Farm uses is this one: 5"x11":

I think you got yourself the right tin, Scott.

I do not know about the length of Pepperidge Farm loaves, but the short side profile of your new tin looks very close to their trademark tin shown on their website, and to the slice measurements by Dave: 5.12 x 2.76 inches

Did you see this one by Wrenbury? It suits your requirements even better 5 3/4 inches wide and 2 3/4inches deep. After baking it will for sure give you a loaf with 5.5" wide slices

I am happy you found what you were looking for!

I like that one too!  Can you send me a link?  : )

1-Click purchasing is so dangerous : )

I stay signed out of zon until I'm sure I'm going to buy. And I don't leave my card on file.  I mainly use gift cards that I buy with cash and don't use any affiliate cards for the purchase.  It's insidious.  They still share what info they can.   I once texted a friend, from my _dumb phone_ to his smart phone with a question about 2032 batteries, and then I get ads for 2032 batteries on my computer.  

I just happened to be at the grocery store today with a ruler. Srsly. No joke.

The Pepperidge Farm and Brownberry loaves I measured are 5" wide. 

I mention it because I suppose it will be easier to find a 5" wide pan than a 5.5" one.

The Pepperidge Farm was 4" tall overall, and it's 2.5" from the bottom to the side "crease", then another 1.5" from the crease to the top.

The sides of PF and Brownberry are vertical, like a Pullman pan, not angled like a homestyle loaf pan. For pans that have angled sides, the stated width is the upper width, not the bottom width.

Hope this helps.
