I'm going to try baking bread, mostly yeast breads for sandwiches and toast. I don't have loaf pans and will need to buy some.

I see there's 8.5" x 4.5" and 9" x 5". Which size do you recommend?

Mine is 5 x 11.5. This makes about the same size of the cheap white loaf that you buy in the store.
I really like it because the smaller sizes rise to high and do not fit in the sand. containers for lunches.
Check the thrift stores or freecycle I got mine at the thrift store.
Also if you can find a bread guide they are great also. They cut the bread about the same width as the store bought bread.

It depends on the amount of flour I'm using and also the size loaf I want. Sometimes with a large recipe, I'll use smaller pans and bake rolls, too. I think a good rule of thumb is use the pan that's half full when you put the dough in.
