Where can I buy a larger than usual 13x4x4 pull man pan?
I want to make Italian style pain de mie bread for sandwich which is much larger size than the usual 13x4x4 pull man pan available on the market.
Where can I find a larger size baking pan for pain de mie? Are there any alternatives to achieve this goal?

What you will need: 1 to 3 pounds of dough: This will depend on the size of your pan and the type of dough. (Whole grain dough will rise less, which means you need more to fill the pan. Doughs made only with white flour will rise more, so it will take less dough to fill the pullman pan.)What size is a loaf pan?

Answer 2
There is a 16x4x4 inch pullman on Amazon (see James's answer and my comment). In another comment, I suggested a workaround.
Well, curiosity piqued, I tried the workaround.
I preheated the baking stone with the oven. This is an awesome recipe from King Arthur Flour and a go to, so I can say that the workaround gets the same results as an actual pain de mie pan. This is a pullman, but without the lid.
That being the case, I question spending the money on the large pullman.
