lopsided loaf
A Pullman loaf, it’s meant to be made in a Pullman pan, which is a rectangular pan with a lid. The lid prevents any further rising, so the loaf bakes up like a regular square loaf.
I don’t own a Pullman pan, so I improvised by weighting down the dough with two baking sheets and a heavy Pyrex bowl.
I’d forgotten how alive and powerful yeast is. The little loaf that could pushed through all that weight in the oven and I’m forced to remove the cumbersome implements – all except for one baking sheet which has stubbornly glommed itself onto the mighty loaf, hence the lopsided er, side.
