Bread on the C.I. pan

[SmokyMose]

I thought I'd do a post just to see if I could with everything going on on the site.
I wanted to do a loaf on the recently acquired 15.5x10.5 C.I. baking pan and decided to try chopsaw's Italian loaf from a few days ago.
I followed his recipe and directions to the letter. It barely fits in the pan!

It only took about 40 minutes at 475.

I've been having problems with the bottoms getting too done but I think this pan is my solution.

I can't wait to try a sourdough loaf on this thing!

Posting pictures is different but everything else seems to work.
We'll see what happens when I hit "post thread"....

That’s a beautiful loaf. Nothing like fresh baked bread!

Bring on the butter! I'd be in a carb coma from eating all of that!

Thanks to all for the nice comments and the points!
I froze half the loaf but the other half is almost gone already. I'll have to get the one out of the freezer to go with Italian sausage tonight

Looks good Dan . Yup , that's a big loaf . I'm gonna start making it in 2 , or bake one and hold the rest of the dough in the fridge .

How much yeast did you use ?

Thanks, Rich! I thought about breaking it into two loaves but it fit in the pan and was easier to just cut in half.
5 tsp of yeast.
