I thought it may be a nice idea to make a bread for everday stuff, like sandwiches and such... but i am having some trouble in finding a good recipe for this. most of the recipes i encounter will say "put into loaf pans..." or "put into either 8x4 OR 9x5 pans..." the problem i forsee here is that the 9x5(which is what i have and want to use) is much bigger than the 8x4. i am looking to make like 2 loaves of a FULL 9x5 could i just increase the ingredients a bit to compensate? or is there a good whole wheat bread recipe out there that will get me a BIG 9x5 loaf of bread? or will any of these recipes get me the results i am looking for... nice big slice of bread... thanks

9x5 is generally a two pound sandwich loaf. If not, it's pretty close.

I've been a bread baker for many years. I don't let the loaf pan size suggested in the recipe dictate what pan I use. I put the bread in whatever size pan I feel like using. I use mostly 9 x 5 pans. I use a recipe that makes 6 loaves in the smaller pans. I usually end up with three 9 x 5 pans and one of the 8 x 4 and I make dinner rolls if I have any dough left over. I like big puffy loaves of bread, but big puffy bread slices don't fit into the sandwich bags when I make my kids' lunches. I generally undersize my loaves so they don't get too tall, if I'm making bread for the family.

I like big bread too, I made some the other day in a souffle dish. Looked awesome, and it turned out better than it did in the loaf pan I put the other loaf in. I made a cross on top to let the fairies out and brushed it with butter, we couldn't stop eating it!

if it can go in the oven you can cook bread in it
