So my brother, the king of weird stuff I never knew existed, gave me a new thing. Tomorrow I will try and bake some bread in this. Bake-A-Round Duo by Corning. Crappy picture but what I found on the net.

spike, you have something very unique, especially the double set. The ones I saw on Ebay are all a single tube. Supposedly they were available on TV in the 70's and 80's, but I sure don't remember seeing any. Let us know how it works out, especially getting the bread out. Was a set of instructions included?

pondgardener yes there was a set of instructions rolled up and put inside one of the tubes. There are even recipes! I will probably just try one of the recipes that comes with the instructions. I will let you know what happens!!

I'd love to hear about it, too, and see pics of the finished bread, if possible.

The recipe I picked for bread had wonderful dough. I decided to get the tubes ready for once the dough was finished rising. Appears that I have very manly sized hands >,< Could not stick my hand into the tube to grease them. Will plan in advance next time. (normally I would have yelled for hubby to assist but he was busy swearing at his work computer about idiots!) Since I was covered in butter I grabbed the knife I used to cut the butter (would be more amusing if it was cheese), stabbed the butter and used it to smear the butter around. Success!

Will have to let you know how it tastes in a bit. We are having it with dinner. Raised in the tubes and then out of the oven. The top one is the bottom side and the bottom is the top side lol. I did that arse backwards.

Was it easy to get out of the tubes after baking? How thick was the "sausage" of dough when you put it in to rise? Good taste? Will you do it again soon?

When you make dough for 2 loaves of bread, that would make 3 of these tubes. That is about the best way I can explain it. Imagine a fat hotdog bun! It seemed to be filling up the tube as it was raising but settled down when baking. I thought for sure I was in trouble when I tilted the tube and the baked bread didn't move. I gave it a little shake and that sucker slid right on out. It was the perfect party loaf! I took a loaf over to the bro with his dinner and he accused me of buying the bread. Said it was to good for me to have made it. Cause he is adopted and no one loves him >,< Jerk head. BUT it was delicious and yes I will be making it again.
Edit to add that it seemed really darkish but the crust was crispy but not hard if that makes sense.

Ain't you cool. girlfriend??!!!
Sounds great! Want to share the recipe that came with the tubes? Sounds like a good light bread recipe.
For buttering those tubes if you haven't got a small handed person around, what about one of those silicon pastry brushes?

Sounds like a success!!!! Yes, please share the dough recipe if you can. I have one of those metal square bread pans with the sliding closed top that might do well with it.

Basic White Bread (makes 2 party loaves)
1/2 cup milk 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons shortening (mine was old so I used butter) 1/2 cup warm water 1 package active dry yeast 3 cups flour
1. Warm milk; stir in sugar, salt and shortening until melted. Cool to lukewarm. Pour warm water into large bowl; add yeast and stir until dissolved. Stir in lukewarm milk mixture. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and beat vigorously until smooth. Stir in most of remaining flour, then turn out on lightly floured board. Knead until dough is non-sticky, smooth and elastic - about 8 to 10 minutes. Add more flour while kneading if necessary.
2. Put dough in greased bowl and grease top lightly. Cover bowl and set in warm place to rise until doubled in bulk (about 30 minutes).
3. Punch dough down and squeeze out air bubbles. Turn dough out on lightly floured board and form a ball. Using a sharp knife, cut dough in half and form 2 party loaves.
4. Center dough in greased tubes. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled (about 45 minutes).
5. Bake at 375°F. for 30 to 35 minutes. Slide bread from tubes onto rack to cool.

I was trying to contain my mess and the brain flat lined. I actually have the perfectly shaped wooden spoon that would work spectacularly. MUCH better than the steak knife I used.
