Parchment paper also known as baking paper is a valuable kitchen tool to have around. It’s very versatile. I use it when I cook my bacon 🥓 in the oven; I cover it so the fat doesn’t splash everywhere. I also line a baking sheet or a pan for my baked goods as well as when I cook fish en papillote.
 
In the last two years, I’ve been showing you a few ways to line different types of pans using this paper. I posted Parchment Paper Rounds for Cakes 🍰 as well as Lining a Square Pan. Here’s another one to know… Lining a Loaf Pan with Parchment Paper!
 
Besides eliminating the need for greasing pans 🧈, it also provides a barrier between baked goods and pans so nothing sticks. I don’t line my pans every time I bake… it depends on the recipe. As an example, when I make my Nutella Fudge, I want to make sure it comes out nicely squared without sticking.
 
Parchment paper is coated with silicone therefore it won’t stick to either the pan or baked goods 🍪. Although it does prevent from sticking, greasing the pan helps the paper to adhere. Also greasing the paper itself is a great insurance policy to ensure that your baked goods come out clean especially when they’re syrupy or very sticky like brownies or when I make my Peanut Butter & Jam Quick Bread.
 
My method of Lining a Loaf Pan with Parchment Paper is pretty straightforward. After placing the pan on a piece of parchment paper, big enough to cover the sides, I simply trace lines from the inside corner of the pan and cut them ✂.
 
From there, I fold the 3 panels on each side and then fold both of the longest sides over again, about a third of the way. I place the paper inside the pan, open it and push the folds to the ends. You might have to press down and play with it a little so it sits nicely.
 
This extra step of Lining a Loaf Pan with Parchment Paper is so worth it! The 2 minutes ⏳ it takes might help to avoid your baked goods from sticking to the pan plus with the overhangs, it facilitates easy removal by lifting it out. It’s a nice baking hack to know…
