Pan loaf

Pan loaf

A pan loaf is a traditional style of bread loaf made in Scotland. It is the most common style available there today and is essentially the same as the ordinary white loaf in other parts of the U.K.. It was once more expensive and regarded as more fashionable than the then more common plain loaf. Hence, to speak with a "pan loafy" voice is to speak in a posh or affected manner.

The pan loaf has a soft pale brown crust all round the bread, in contrast to the so-called plain loaf's darker crust only at the top and bottom.
