My husband is the resident bread-baker here and wanted me to post a question for the Farmgirls:
What's the best way to help the bread loaf not stick to the pan?!?
We're not supposed to spray these pans (according to the manufacturer) but I wasn't sure if the old butter&flour trick that I use for cakes also applies to breads. He makes beautiful loaves but has a heck of a time getting them out of the pans!
I figure that when the pan manufacturers are willing to come to my kitchen and free the bread, they have the right to tell me how to remove it. When it sticks, I do what's necessary to make it stop.
So I spray with olive oil. Make sure you resist the temptation to pat it or squish it in the pan. That increases sticking with yeast doughs. BTDT. With quick breads that might stick I grease and flour.
Cooling for ten minutes on a wire rack will help loosen things too.
Bread sticks to the pan...
