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This has been covered before, but sadly the information is now out of date.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.

and would do so still.
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!
