To bake quick breads in these
pans, it helps if the mixture is thick, so it doesn’t leak. I used a
double-thickness of parchment paper between the bottom cap and the pan to help
prevent leaks. After spraying the pans
with pan coating with flour in it, I filled 2 of them half full of this batter,
and set them in a small baking pan to catch spills and keep them upright on the
oven rack. The breads simply fell out of
the pans after baking, when the bottom cap was removed! The pans were about ¾ full after baking.
The recipe,
besides being appropriate for these pans, was also very good – the cheese added a
little something, and the fresh Granny Smith apple was much better than
sweetened applesauce often used in this type of bread.
