Foil mini-loaf pans??
This weekend I plan on baking Leader's Little Blue Cheese Rye Loaves from Local Breads. The recipe calls for four mini-loaf pans, 2.5" x 5" x 2". I don't own any loaf pans and don't want to spend $$ on mini-pans I may never use again, so I purchased a set of five "Handi foil" mini-pans for $1.69.
I'm now wondering if these foil pans will be adequate. The loaves are to be baked at 400F for 25 to 35 minutes. It's taken me about seven days to prepare the levain and I'll be using about six bucks worth of blue cheese. I don't want to wind up with a burnt crust or undercooked crumb because of the pans.
Do you think the foil pans will work, or am I courting disaster?
Thanks for any suggestions/comments/shared experience.
