I hate to display my ignorance but not all my pans are marked on size. Do you measure from the top or the bottom to get the size? I used an odd sized pan for your Dark Pumpernickel mix (10x 4) measured at the top, and got the prettiest dome I have ever seen and I used the same pan for your Honey Wheat mix with much less impressive results. The bread was still beyond delicious. Your mixes are so forgiving. But still it all seems very confusing. Often I bake big batches and in those cases I could divide the dough to maximize each pan. But what does a 3 cup recipe end up weighting in ounces or grams? That would help me more than cup amount. I don't measure in cups anymore. I just weigh and then I weigh my dough before putting it in the pan. Thank you for this article. It really came at a good time because I just made those two mixes and was stumped at the differences in how they rose in the same pan.
