Convert 9x5-Inch Large 1.25-Lb Loaf Pan to 10x15-Inch Jelly Roll Pan: Exact Scaling Multiplier & Bake Time

To convert a recipe written for an 9x5-Inch Large 1.25-Lb Loaf Pan (45 in², 8 cups capacity) to an 10x15-Inch Jelly Roll Pan (150 in², 10 cups capacity), multiply all ingredient quantities by 3.33x (by surface area) or 1.25x (by total rim volume).
Surface Area Multiplier3.33xRecommended for cakes
Total Volume Multiplier1.25xFor deep casseroles
Unscaled Fill Depth0.53"(52.5% pan capacity)
Baking Time Delta-25%Based on batter thickness

✅ Direct 1:1 Swap Compatible (No Ingredient Scaling Mandatory)

The 9x5-Inch Large 1.25-Lb Loaf Pan batter fills the 10x15-Inch Jelly Roll Pan safely to 52.5% capacity (0.53" deep). You can bake without scaling ingredients, but ensure you adjust baking time as calculated below.
