About 3/4!. Otherwise if filled to the top, it will expand out while it's baking but not set, and ooze out all over the sides of the pan!.

(interesting science experiment, but not so good pumpkin bread)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would leave an inch from the dough to the top of the pan!. If it's less that's fine too!. Usually the recipe will tell you how many loafs it makes!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

If it was yeast bread, you let it rise twice before putting in pans!.
It would rise to overflowing by the time it was properly baked!.
For a non-yeast type dough, I'd say 3/4 way up the pan sides!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if using fresh or reconstituted yeast approx 3/4 's full to allow bread to rise while baking!.
hope this helpsWww@FoodAQ@Com

I do about 3/4 or about an 1" from the top something like that!.!.!.!. that sounds yummy!.!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
