When a friend of mine spotted the Pyrex “Bake-A-Round” Bread pan in a Wisconsin antique store, I was deeply intrigued. This “As Seen on TV” pan was developed in the late 1960’s and was sold into the 1970’s and 1980’s, and it attempted to solve two major problems for home bread bakers: shaping difficulties + getting a crisp outer crust. Will it work? Stay tuned to see just how fun (and funny 🤣) bread baking can be!
