Hi Gran, it sounds like you're baking with what we call an Oversized Bread Loaf Pan (about 10" by 5"). These pans are ideal for larger yeasted bread loaves and cakes (recipes using 4 to 5 cups of flour). Any recipe that says it bakes a 1 1/2 to 2 pound-size loaf should rise nicely in this size pan. If you're looking for a recipe to start with, consider using our Pain de Mie recipe. It's a classic soft sandwich bread that makes fantastic toast. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
