Help with canape tins

Toast

Hi everyone!

 

Has anyone had success using the Nor-Pro Canape tube tins?  They are about 3" in diameter and 9" tall with two lids on either end.  They come in heart, flower and star shapes. I suppose I want a tight crumb? Any recipe suggestions?

 

Thanks,

But not consistently.  I think I used a regular bread dough the first time and it popped both ends off, and the second time, I tried pain de mie dough, some leftover from the making of the square pain de mie.  That worked pretty well, but I found that the bread came out a little squashy.  I think that, no matter which recipe you use, you would have to leave the loaves at least a day before cutting them.

Ooh good thought about making them a day before. Since I usually toast them a bit it won't hurt them to sit.  How much do you let it rise?  I am wondering if oven spring is an issue?
