A pan loaf is a style of bread loaf baked in a loaf pan or tin. It is the most common style available in the United Kingdom, though the term itself is predominantly Scottish and Northern Irish to differentiate it from the plain loaf. The pan loaf has a soft pale brown crust all around the bread, in contrast to a plain loaf's darker crust only at the top and bottom.
