Sourdough bread baked in a loaf pan is a practical, user-friendly alternative to free-form artisan loaves (boules). This method produces a loaf with a classic sandwich shape, a softer, thinner crust, and an even interior crumb that is ideal for slicing and toasting.
The defining feature is its uniform, rectangular shape, which fits a toaster and is excellent for making sandwiches.
The crust is significantly softer and less chewy than the thick, crackly exterior of a Dutch oven boule. This is due to being baked uncovered at a lower temperature.
It typically has a more regular, "closed" or denser crumb structure, with smaller air pockets, as opposed to the large, open, and irregular holes found in high-hydration artisan loaves. This makes it less messy and more functional for holding sandwich fillings.
It retains the characteristic tangy flavor developed through the natural fermentation process of a sourdough starter.
