Bread in a Can

[Rick]

My wife makes Banana Nut Bread every year and she uses tin cans to bake in. Original tin cans. None of that mamby pamby plastic lining stuff. These bad boys are older than most of the forum members. Anywhoo, I love bread baked in a can. Here are some recipes for you. Just remember that most modern day cans have a plastic lining inside!!

Thanks, that's a great link!

B & M <http://www.bgfoods.com/bm/bm_products.asp> makes canned Boston brown bread, which I love. I save the cans to bake my own bread in. I figure they should be safe, having already been used for just that purpose.

I buy it at my local Ralph's, but I see you can also buy it online at

or even on Amazon

Hi folks, I have always been into preserving my own foods the safest and best tasting way I can. Here is how I put up my "canned" breads/cakes. It is according to the size of your family whether you use quarts or pints.
Sterilize pts or qt Mason canning jars and make certain they are absolutely dry inside. Then spray inside them good with cooking spray. Put in your bread/cake batter, to have mine rise to the neck of the jar I put in just a little over half a jar of raw dough, have the proper temp in your oven, set the jars on a large baking pan and bake until done.
Have your lids and rings ready, as you take each jar out of the oven screw lid and ring on. The jars will seal and your bread/cake will stay fresh until you open it. I make all sorts of cakes this way, am not much of a bread eater.
Be sure to use the wide necked jars.

How long have you stored bread in the jars? What's the best way of getting it out of the jars?

Here's one way.......

[crashdive123]

I was just thinking about the mason jars that I have, which are a standard mouth jar. I suppose a wide mouth jar would work better.

I have stored cakes and some breads as long as a year, I am sure it would have lasted longer but I ate it, in fact I always eat it...sigh....I use the wide neck jars and if you spray your jars good with the cooking spray before you put the dough in, when you are ready to use it, it will just slide out.

Cool. Thanks Springkitty - I'm going to have to try it.

I see where I left something out. By saying "to have your lids and rings ready" I did not mean to have them in boiling water as you would if canning in a hot water bath or pressure canner. I meant have them ready as in they are sterilized but dry.
Also, since it is an easy and delicious way for breads and cakes, I once just took it for granted corn bread made from scratch would be great baked in my jars so I baked/canned 24 pts of corn bread. It was awful! It tasted like sand looks. I dumped all of it. Corn meal doesnt seem to do well at all in jars.

Kitty - Do you use just any bread/cake recipe for canning or do you have particular recipes that work best with canning breads and cakes. I'm interested in trying this, particularly with brown bread, and just wanted to see if any recipe would work.

Thanks!!

Funny, I thought this was about the B&M canned bread too.

We have a good stock of it, and it's not bad at all!! We ate all that we "test" made, and enjoyed it :)
