So, I finally tried the star and flower shaped bread pans last weekend. I decided to use the pumpkin swirl bread recipe, and just swirl the white part in the bowl with the pumpkin part and then fill the containers with the mixture. It seemed a thick enough doughNOT! Oh my, what a mess! The directions warn that there may be "a bit of oozing" from the bottom, and there was. But, I thought that when I put the pans in the hot 400* oven, the oozing part would bake up fast and set and then the rest of the bread would just rise up in the pans and be beautiful and cute and wonderful. Have I ever mentioned that I never took physics? Well, gravity rules over leavening. And the "bit of ooze" ended up in pools and pools of batter all surrounding the outside of the bottom of the pans all over the foil I had placed them on(thank goodness). Kind of like lava from a volcano, only coming from the bottom of the volcano(or rather like Jabba the Hut in form) My oven light is not working(replacement bulb not working either, nuts) so I didn't want to open the oven door till at least halfway through the cooking time of 50-60 minutes. I'm just LOL. I wish I had taken a picture. It was actually quite the cool abstract sculpture. I will not be defeated by these pans though. Next time I will use a very stiff, biscuit like dough, or yeast dough. And, tape up the parchment paper lining the caps, like the directions recommend. I've been eating the scraps with coffee---tastes too good to toss.
