Preventing your bread from sticking to the pan can be tricky, but I have some simple methods that work really well!

1. Grease the Pan: One of the easiest ways to stop sticking is to grease your pan well. You can use butter, oil, or baking spray. Don’t be shy—cover every corner! A pastry brush is great for spreading it evenly, so the whole surface gets coated.

2. Use Parchment Paper: This is my favorite method. Just cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of your pan and grease the sides. The parchment acts like a barrier and makes it super easy to lift the bread out once it cools a bit. Plus, it makes cleaning up so much easier!

3. Dusting: After greasing, you can sprinkle some flour or cornmeal in the pan (cornmeal gives a different texture). Just tap out the extra flour or cornmeal. This creates a smooth surface that helps the bread slide out easily.

4. Allow Cooling Time: Once your bread is baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This helps it set before you try to take it out. You can use a knife to gently run around the edges to help it come out.

Try these tips, and hopefully, you'll have perfectly non-stick bread every time!
