How do I adjust baking times?

Hello all,

Forgive me of this has come up before, but don't think it has lately.

I'm thinking of making mini loaves of breads to give at Christmas (pumpkin, cranberry, etc.). To bake a regular-sized loaf, it's about 1 hour and 10 minutes. How long would it take if I was using those mini aluminum pans? Is there a good conversion method I don't know of?

Many thanks, Kris

No, no easy way except to test with a toothpick. I would look at them after about 20 minutes to see if they even look done, and test from there

Assuming you're talking about yeast breads, I always go by appearance vs. time, since I seldom follow a recipe except as a basic guide.

When the loaves look almost done, I'll do a thump test on one to see if it sounds done, then pull them out when the top crusts reach the color I'm looking for.

This also works for some quick breads too, depending on the firmness of the crust.

It probably wouldn't hurt to experiment a bit > Hello all,
