What is a jelly roll pan and what is it used for? Well, I've looked at a number of recipes lately where this type of baking pan was called for and decided to share what I found.
Simply put, a jelly roll pan is a rectangular baking sheet with 1-inch-deep sides. It is used for baking thin cakes. The most popular size used for recipes and cake mixes is 10x15 inches. Larger sizes are available as well.
What do you do if you don't have a jelly roll pan? You can easily substitute with another baking pan that is close in size and measurement. Typically, non-commercial jelly roll pans are sized like this:
- Sheet Pan (reg): 10-1/2" wide x 15-1/2" long x 1" deep - holds 10 cups
- Sheet Pan (lg): 12-1/2" wide x 17-1/2" long x 1" deep - holds 12 cups
You may find that you have a cookie sheet, or even a pizza pan that comes close to these measurements and could be used as a substitute. Happy baking!
