Thanks O, but I'm not looking for sandwich bread. This is a moist
(almost dessert-like) bread that's traditionally eaten with Boston
Baked Beans. The usual form is cylindrical and it is typically
purchased in a can.

I wouldn't bother to try to duplicate the canned bread exactly. If
that's what you want just look around and find a can of the darn
stuff.

Who would want to do this?

Okeaaaay... good luck finding the cans to bake the bread in.

I've never tasted this but I've read recipes over the years. Seems to
be a good way to use molasses. Don't "Boston Baked Beans" also contain
molasses? Neither one is something likely to crave or cook. It is
interesting, though.

The canned beans will provide the cans.

.....and the wheat flour and non-stick spray. Fergetabowdit!

I'd do this recipe:

http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes...n_brown_bread/

That whole can thing is absurd. Best brn brd I ever tasted was from a
little mkt bakery in Murphreesboro TN and they weren't made in a can.
Plus, ABs recipe got no raisins. Bah! ...humbug.

The tradition is to prepare the bread in a cylindrical container. I
believe that it started as a New England tradition. Being made in a
can has nothing to do with the fact that one can buy a commercial
product today that is in a can. Brown bread originally referred
(Europe, maybe Irish?) to a bread made with dark flour and grains.
There is no reason to not make use of small loaf pans to prepare the
bread.

Check out Alton Brown's recipe.

Looks pretty good to me. I may try it myself when I get the urge and
time to make baked beans.

I found a recipe I like, I'm just asking because some recipes call for
rye and others don't - so I was hoping someone here has actually made
it and could tell me if it's absolutely necessary.

When I was a kid, I worked in a Howard Johnson's restaurant and they had
their own Boston Brown Bread. Came in a can and we sliced it and served
it with baked beans.
