My latest triumph - Milk loaf in a pipe tin or small tin - recipes & photos

[Millipede]

I havent read the whole thread, but recently I sourced a pipe tin at "kitchen Warehouse", which is a big francheise in WA. Not sure if other states have that chain? There were two types of pipe tin... a teflon coated one for about $25, and a non-coated one for only $12. I bought the cheap one 

I made a corn and pumpkin bread in it and it turned out well.

That's great Millipede, maybe they have only just got them in.  I'm sure the WA girls tried to find them over there a while back.

Hi Millipede - which Kitchen Warehouse did you go to? I looked in the Melville one 2 weeks ago and they didn't have pipe tins then...

I think I will have to check out the Midland store on the weekend. 

January family holidays in Mandurah was the only time we ever had "Tank" bread.   It looked like the rainwater tank at the farm!

You are so right about the tank bread triley. Whereabouts was/is your farm? My family had one in the northern wheatbelt.

Sorry for not replying sooner, i havent popped in here since my last post. I bought my pipe tin at the atwell store... At least I think it's atwell. Lol. Near the spotlight store down there anyway. I was there about a month ago and they have about 4 or 5 in stock,

I love that shop. It is my downfall. I think it is in Atwell but it's listed as Cockburn.

[faffa_70]

oh yes that is the shop where we MUST NOT meet for a coffee isn't it Cookie 

[Millipede]

Cockburn! That's it! I was having a mental blank there. For non-sandgropers Cockburn is pronounced 'co-burn' 

[Bonsai]

wow they must have sold out fast! I went there last Saturday and the were none and the shop assistant looked at me like I was mad   

[Bonsai]

actually, was it a tank loaf tin or a cylindrical tin with a lid at one end that you got millipede?

[Millipede]

It was a cylindrical tin with a lid at both ends. I have used it to make cake style 'breads' but haven't tried actual bread dough in it.

[Bonsai]

Oh, I was thinking of a tin like this

[CreamPuff63]

that was the tin I got Bonsai.

I think the tin with lids on both ends is something that I have cooked like a Date & Walnut loaf in days gone by? Very small, and not suitable for breadmaking if we are "on the same page" so to speak.

My mistake! Its not like the corrugated flip open tin you have linked to. I too remember those corrugated round loaves of bread from when I was a kid 

I have just made a the pumpkin and corn bread in my pipe tin though. I took some piccy's so i will put them up
