Bread tins, greasing?

[Chrissy]

I was gifted these lovely preloved, well used bread tins from a baker friend of mine. I am unsure of how or what to grease them with?

What do you use to stop bread sticking?

[opi2kenopi]

I sometimes spray my tins with a little oil and then throw in a little flour and toss it around to coat.  The other method that is really nice is to  to spray a little oil and then coat with some seeds (e.g. sesame seeds).  Gives a great flavour to the loaf as well.

Happy baking

That looks like a well loved tin 

I never do anything to mine other than put the dough in it. Comes out easily every time. You might like to while it with a paper towel with a little oil and put in the oven empty to season it or just make a loaf and see how it goes

Good luck

That bread tin looks well loved. I have to grease a couple of mine and use a bit of butter. The others are fine and don't need it.

I don't trust anything not to stick and don't take the chance after one loaf refused to come out of the tin without breaking up.
I started lining them with gladbake but a friend gave me some proper liners which can be reused over and over again so now I use them for everything.  Any good homewares shop should stock these types of liners.

I grease mine prob once every 10 loaves? I don't wash inbetween unless it gets stuck but basically if I get a little sticky bit I then wash and then just do a little spray with oil.
I'd probably do a quick spray the first time and see how you go?

I have never oiled my tins, though I do flour them every time I use them and then wipe them out with papertowel to stop the build up of flour - especially in the corners. Mine just pop straight out.

I have some of these too Judy, I got them at a craft market, but these particular people have a website, www.simplydelightful.com.au so post anywhere in Australia. They have liners for everything. It saves so much on baking paper, and can be wiped or even washed. Love 'em

Chrissy,  you are one lucky ducky.  These are REAL bread tins.  You have been given good advice.  I keep a tin of canola oil spray , just for bread tins, and usually sprinkle a few seed in the bottom .  I never wash them.

I so wish I could get my hands on some REAL bread tins, I've been searching for years.  Its not fair I'm so jealous

alot of 'locals' here do that for all kinds of baking including cakes etc and it has never failed!

Virgo 9-thanks for the link to 'simply delightful'. And your comment too judydawn  How did I not know that these existed?! I've just put an order in and will excitedly await their arrival. I also bought the muffin liners, I gave up making muffins about a year ago as they always stick-not any more though!

[virgo9]

You're welcome thermie crew. They really are great - I could go crazy with buying lots of different sizes! I started with one oven tray liner and used it to death (but it must have lasted at least a year - not sure exactly how long). I replaced it recently when I saw them again at a local market and am starting to build up my collection with ones that I would use a lot. Certainly saves a lot on baking paper. Glad I could help!

I'm absolutely no expert on bread or bread tins (although I do love both  ) but I found this web site today which sells pre-seasoned bread tins which seem pretty 'real' to me.  This is from an actual bakery by the looks.  I've not bought anything from there so I can't recommend in anyway, but it might be worth a look Nik.

They also sell baguette (french bread) tins as well.  And a natural bread improver product, plus many different flours including spelt, kamut, pasta dura etc...I may be making a purchase from there in the near future
