How to get this shape

I love the shape of this loaf.  I always get ears on the side of mine and wondered would I get this result from a taller tin or is it down to shaping?

This is not my pic

If in the UK check out bakerybits.co.uk they have some taller ''farmhouse' pans which will help you achieve this shape.

Thank you.  Have had a look but would prefer a non teflon pan which I should have mentioned in my post sorry.  Have bookmarked for other items though :)

will get you the shape you are after and they have non-Teflon surface.

One of the many options online:

I'll second Yippee. That's the pan I use and the photo you use could very well be my standard sandwich loaf - except the counter is too neat and orderly. If you're in England and can't get that exact pan look for a small pain de mie tin. If the USA Pan is available it's an exceptional performer.

And don't let the dough rise too far above the rim before baking. That will help avoid the 'muffin tops'.
