Deep loaf/bread tins

This has been covered before, but sadly the information is now out of date.  I am desperate to find a deep (9cm/3.5") loaf tin.  After information gleaned from here a while ago, I did buy one from Bakery Bits, but they no longer sell it.  I really don't want to pay postage charges from the States or Australia (who DO still seem to sell deep tins). Can anyone help me, please!!

They are not cheap, but I have 6 of each and so-far for daily use they're working very well. I just washed them when I got them and have never used oil/butter/etc. The loaves just fall out, even my 100% rye ones.

Edit on this to ad a photo:

The pictures on that website seem to indicate quite an angle to the sides of the tin when it's not - its near vertical (that' was baked in a large tin)

I second Gordon's recommendation. 

I live in the States but wanted a bread pan smaller than our standard 8-9" as well as having taller sides.  After much searching I found these and couldn't be more pleased both with the quality and the size.  They are well made and, as Gordon said, a breeze to clean.  In fact, I don't really have to clean them.  Just a quick rinse with warm water is all that is required with just about any type of loaf I bake from gooey holiday loaves to standard sandwich loaves.

My only complaint is that they don't sell them in the US.  I did spend the $$$ on the postage and, while it was a hefty sum, I do not regret it.

I've used creedsdirect .co.uk for traditional deep tins - they're very well made and cheap

Thank you, all, for responding so quickly, and for the link to a previous thread, Jon O'Brien!  Both these suggestions look the right height for me, so well pleased.

Don't you just love forums?

Thanks to TFL, I found the absolute perfect bread pan for me (https://creedsdirect.co.uk/item/358/Bread-Tin--800g-Sandwich-Loaf-Top-248x120mm-Base-241x114mm-Depth-117mm) but when I try to order it says "no valid UK address". Has someone managed to get them to deliver to the US? Thanks!

I sent an email to Creeds and their sales rep said they don’t ship to the U.S.

This  pan from King Arthur Flour is the deepest bread pan I have been able to find. I live in the USA.

Alternatively, if you don't mind making an extral long loaf,  rectangular angel food cake pan  works very well. I shape 2 regular loaves and put them end-to-end sometimes.

Similar to Newfoundland bread but the angel pan loaves would be 2 loaves end-to-end and not 3 loaves side-to-side:

I have found that when I look around what I already have, I can make some interesting loaves. I have some 4"diameter circular, uncoated cans to make pannetones in various sizes (big or miniature-sometimes I make round sandwich loaves), rectangular Corning casseroles to make a wide-pan style loaf (my favorite), all-metal saucepans to make a round, cylindrical bread and even metal jello molds for specialty shapes. Thrift stores are usually abundant with bread-making supplies like pans and baskets.

Have fun and keep an open mind!
