For baking mini buns, the Patisse 19190 (rectangular shape) is a good choice for baking mini buns, as it imitates the classic bun shape, only in a miniature version.

Tips on how to best use these silicone molds specifically for baking bread:

Type of dough

Yeast dough: The little "loaves" will bake very quickly (about 12-18 minutes depending on the temperature). Because they are small, the crust will be the majority of the bun - perfect for those who like a crunch.

Quick Bread (No Yeast): The pans are great for seed bread, soda bread, or banana bread. The platinum silicone will prevent these often sticky doughs from sticking to the sides.

Temperature and time

Bread usually requires a higher temperature than muffins (around 200°C–220°C). Platinum silicone will handle this without a problem.

Important: Since the indentations are small, the dough can dry out if you bake it too long. It is recommended to place a small bowl of water in the oven to create steam - this will help the bread rise and prevent the crust from becoming hard.

Crispy crust

Silicone has one special feature – it retains moisture. To prevent the buns from "sweating": As soon as they are ready, remove them from the mold and place them on a cooling rack. If you leave them to cool in the mold, the moisture will condense and the bottom will become soft.

Filling and toppings

The small rectangular wells are perfect for experimenting: you can bake 12 different buns in one pan (one with rosemary, another with cheese, a third with sunflower seeds).
