I recently purchased the pain de mie pan and am still learning to use it. The first loaf just wasn't done. It turned out doughy and had a yeasty odor to it. the second was a little better but still smelled of yeast. My instant read was 186 so I know I need to cook it longer. I'm going to try again today. My question is how large is the loaf in lbs? I would like to try other recipes in my pan but I want to make sure I'm using the correct size recipe. Thank you Brenda, a recipe using about 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, or about 5 cups of whole wheat, should work just fine. It's about a 2 1/2-lb. loaf. Are you using instant yeast, and the amount called for? Did you use our our pain de mie recipe? PJH
