Hi all, I'm new to this list and new to sourdough baking. When the breadmaking urge struck me again I invested in a nice new bread tin. I notice most of the bread I have seen on this list is just rolled into shape and baked, no tin used. Why is this?
I have made one nice sourdough loaf, my little beagle is getting rather plump on oven baked failed sourdough loaves. But my starter is still active and I am just waiting for a day at home so I can try again using the kneading method on the learners page.

A lot of the breads I make at work are made in bread pans. The more "original" loaves are natural form. You can also use a bowl or basket to keep a nice round shape before baking.
hope that helps!

If I'm making the bread for selling to my friends, who don't really care for crust, I make it in a tin. Baking in a tin also gives more uniform slices. Remember to oil the tin well. And, on removing the loaf out of the tin, I stick it into the oven to bake another 10-15 mins to allow the sides and bottom to brown.
Personally, I like free form loaves or loaves proved in bannetons, where I can exercise more creativity and practice slashing.
