Thanks much vilco. And thanks for the link.

I've tried the disposable molds. I found them a bit too short. Also
they're slightly sloped at the sides. Doesn't make my preferred shape.
I like the look I get from tall coffee cans. The bread stands taller
and the sides come out 100% straight.

If I used a typical panettone dough it might be possible, but
mine is extremely slack, almost like a batter. For every cup
of flour it contains an entire stick of butter (1/4 lb). So it's
so loose (and structurally weak) it spills over the top instead
of baking upward.

In other words, instead of rising straight up like this:

the dough would just spill over the top.
