Any recipe for a quick bread will work....but I never put the lid back into the can....just baked the breads in a can. And I often used a 1 pound coffee can. I remember oner ecipe for an orange current bread, usde bisquick and concentrated OJ and currents....
And I also have another recipe called English muffin bread that is baked in a coffee can.
B and M made a Boston brown bread in a can....

My mom used to bake pumpkin bread in cans. I think they were HC juice cans. Do they even make HC juice anymore?

Dont think she had any special recipe. She also didnt use the lid to get the bread out. No special recipe, just plain pumpkin bread recipe.

I agree, you can use any quick bread recipe. I haven't put the lid back in the can either, but always just cut off the still existing bottom and pushed.

I also agree on you can use almost any recipe. I use pork and bean cans. I make datenut and pumpkin bread. I put them on a cookie sheet and bake six or eight at a time. Take out of the can, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze.

Maggie4, my grandmother made date nut bread in pork and bean cans also. would you be willing to share your recipe and at what temp do you bake them?

I also used to make any recipe and put them in the can with one end left in. If you greased it well enough, it would usually come out. Of course, that was before the days of pam when we greased and floured everything.

I might have to try it this year if I use up some cans. Deanna

When I first got interested in making yeast breads, I used to make the dough, put it in a greased coffee can and let it rise until the plastic top popped off.......will look and see if I still have that recipe.

Date Nut Bread in P&B can.
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp butter
2 cups flour
1 cup nuts
1 cup dates chopped
1 tsp soda
1 cup boiling water

Add chopped dates to soda water and mix with rest of ingredients. Spray can w/pam. I usually use a little sugar in the bottoms of my cans only because I don't like the white flour that shows on the bread. Bake at 325-350 for 1 hr or until a toothpick inserted in bread comes out clean. I usually double this.

Sorry for being so late but have been busy lately. Enjoy!
