My grandmother baked round bread in a 1# coffee can. She would grease it lightly and stand it up to bake.

Chicago Metallic makes a 2 piece hinged pan that together makes a round loaf- - or at least they used to.

Hi Thanks for your info.. Yes I tried the coffee tin, it really isn't what I want but I tried..... It shaped OK but the loaf was far too short, I am sort of toying with the idea of trying to extend the coffee actually I used a large soup can, but to put an extension on it of parchment like you would a souffle.
And Chicago Metalics, they only do sets of 4 latched together and I think they were about $150 plus exchange and plus postage. would work out rather too expencive...... Another place did sets of 2 at $73 with exchange and post comes to about $100 any way they were sold out. ;-)))))
thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, qahtan

Try using empty coffee cans, they work great.

Yes but they make a very short loaf, not really what I am looking for, Thanks any way.... qahtan

Hi qahtan, long time no see.

~theres always a chance that an antiques fair may throw up a tin for you. We have a couple of permanent sites locally and they often sell old tins quite cheap. Certainly a lot cheaper than you would buy new. Worth a try.

Mother-in-law gave me her ancient one. Not used it yet
