Work out bread loaf pan size instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Pan volume is length times width times height, and a standard sandwich loaf uses roughly 0.36 g of dough per cubic centimetre of pan volume. Loaf pans vary far more than recipes admit, and matching dough weight to pan volume is what decides whether you get a domed loaf or an overflow.
Pan volume
volume = length x width x height
Dough weight
recommended dough = pan volume x 0.36 g per cm3
volume = length x width x height. Pan volume is length times width times height, and a standard sandwich loaf uses roughly 0.36 g of dough per cubic centimetre of pan volume.
