I would like to experiment with making a thin crust sandwich bread for day to day lunches. I know normaly a covered (Pullman) pan is used. Does anyone know of a way to experiment with soft thin crusts without investing $30-50 in a pan? I was wondering if maybe flipping a normal loaf pan of on a metal sheet pan might do the trick?
If ventilation is needed I could always drill a few holes (Std loaf pans are cheap). Has anyone done this with any success?
Also do I need a specific recipe for thin soft crust breads or will a normal white / wheat bread recipe work?
