How do I adjust baking times when using a muffin pan for bread?
When using a 6-cup muffin pan, you typically need to reduce the baking time compared to a loaf pan. Start checking for doneness around 15-20 minutes, as muffins usually bake faster.

Do I need to grease the muffin pan before baking bread?
