Using dough from Breadmaker in loaf tins - what size to use?
I remember a while ago that a couple of posters use their breadmaker to make dough and then bake them in tins in the oven. I have a Panasonic Breadmaker, so if I were to do the same wanted to know what size loaf tins to use? I usually bake a large loaf in the breadmaker. Thanks.

How Do You Pleat a Teatowel to Support A French Baguette?
Although I have been making bread for quite a while, I have only recently ventured into French Baguettes and so far they have turned out really well.
