Any particular reason why you use a pullman tin?

Yeah, that knife came with the bread box/board. I actually use a much nicer/sharper 9.5" knife and a slicing guide that kinda/sorta doesn't suck. lol

I use the pans mostly to make it easier to portion carbs, but also because I really love the conformity. With regular pans I always ended up with a pretty significant difference in height for the middle slices vs end slices.

1st and 2nd rise are both ~45-60 minutes. That bread is actually much better than previous attempts. I converted an open pan recipe to low carb without taking into consideration the pullman holding in the steam. Taking the lid off 10 minutes before finish helped a lot. Going to experiment taking a lid off 15 minutes early as well as cooking a loaf 5 minutes longer since I cook 3 small pans at a time.
