Hi Patricia, if you ask PJ, she will tell you that the perfect bread pan for all occasions is this one. This is the same pan as our 9" Pain De Mie pan (without the lid), so if that's the pan you have, I'd bring that one along. Here's what PJ has to say about this pan: "I use my 9” x 4” x 4” pan for every loaf I bake these days, from Whole-Grain Banana Bread to my weekly sourdough. I no longer worry about whether a recipe calls for a quick bread (9” x 5”) or standard loaf (8 1/2”x 4 1/2”) pan; the taller 9” x 4” pan steps in seamlessly for either one. Honestly, if you’re going to go through life with just a single bread pan, the 9” x 4” is your best choice."
