Hi Bold Bakers! You will be bread making in no time with my easy Boston Brown Bread Recipe! And it’s made in a can! Get the recipe: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/
This brings back old memories from 50+ years ago. My grandma used to save her small 1-pound tin coffee cans all year and during the holidays she would bake pumpkin bread, cranberry bread, banana bread...all kinds of quick bread. It's almost impossible to do today because coffee is sold in either plastic tubs or sacks. More than 30 years ago nearly all coffee in US grocery stores was vacuumed packed in tin cans. Thrifty housewives used to turn these coffee cans into bakeware. 😊
BTW, you probably should add a warning or disclaimer that you'll need a tin can that DOES NOT have a plastic resin liner in it. The plastic liner could melt and end up in the bread.
My Mother always bought us kids the brown bread in the can back in the 50’s and I especially liked the one with the raisins!! I’ll definitely make this!
Can't wait to hear how you get on with the recipe!
Grew up eating this!! Mom always made fish cakes with mashed potatoes and Haddock, baked beans and Boston brown bread! Total comfort food! Very carb heavy but it was so good!!!
It's perfect for when you want a hearty meal!
Amazing. We use tins for baking or steaming bread here in South Africa. Awesome. Thanks
Bostonians are ingenious!
They sure are, Ron! Thank you for watching.
Growing up a neighbor of ours, Mrs. Porter used to make, coffee can bread. After I got married, I used to make it often, sadly I lost the recipe, but it was so good, with lots of butter. I’ll have to try this.
I hope you get on well with this recipe. Get the measurements in the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/ Enjoy!
Gemma, you just keep getting better and better with the bread recipes.
Thank you, Byron.
You have no idea how happy I am to see this recipe!!! I was saddened to see that b&m is pretty much no longer here in the state of Maine 😔
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us 🙏💖 Katherine
The B&M factory used to be in Portland but they moved out of state in 2021.
Hope you enjoy this, Katherine! Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/
You are incredibly creative Gemma!
Thank you for the kind words.
Of course, you can cut the bread with a knife but traditionally the bread was cut with a silk thread and I still cut it using that method but only because that technique works do well; it's much easier than using a serrated edge knife. These days I do not have silk thread on hand so I use unwaxed dental floss and it works just as well. And, I'm so glad that you now list your ingredients and measures, please don't discontinue that feature because it's just so damn handy. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thanks for sharing.
My mom used to buy it back in the 60s, and it had raisins in it. I love it with raisins 😋
Having grown up in the Boston area, we had hot dogs with Boston Baked Beans and B&M Brown Bread every Saturday night, a Boston tradition, mum said. Yummy!
Thank you for sharing, Kestrelle.
I grew up in this ❤
Wow Gemma your boston bread looks incredibly amazing. It's very beautiful ❤❤
It's so good! Go for it! Here's the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/
I love spreading some slightly sweetened cream cheese on top of my brown bread. SO good!
That would be delicious!
That's exactly how we ate it when I was a kid for a snack in the eighties
Very good Recipe. We..... Americans have changed the recipe many, many times. The basics are still the same though. As for homemade Boston Steamed Brown Bread, we usually add raisins and a bit more molasses. It's considered a sweet batter bread, usually eaten with Boston Baked Beans. Also made with molasses and is incredibly good. Until the 1880's many poorer Americans used molasses as a sweetener. Sugar was much more expensive. A bit of History: Did you ever hear of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919? In Boston Mass. there is a high population of Irish Americans. In 1919 a neighborhood of somewhat impoverished Irish and Italian people lived. There was a metal holding tank of thick molasses. Which was used to make alcohol and munitions for the USA. It was built quickly and cheaply in 1915. And held over 2.3 Million Gallons of Molasses. On January 15, 1919 the Tank burst open with a loud roar. A 15 foot high wave of molasses rushed down the street at 35 mph, covering everything and everyone in it's path. 21 people drowned in the sticky goo and 150 people were injured, some seriously. The deaths were young children to old people. Horses were covered and died. And some had to be shot later. Buildings were pushed off their foundations and some collapsed. It was a rather warm January day, 40f-4c....... still cold enough for molasses to thicken very stiffly. We enjoy our steamed brown bread. Still made in large cans, placed in pans with water in the bottom and baked for 50 minutes or so.
I love watching your videos :) you have such a sweet and sincere personality, and I love the way you cook. I love to cook too, and I love that you stick to the basics and make it amazing. Thank you for spreading your gifts with the world!!! :) I want to try this recipe!
Thank you for the kind words. I hope you found my recipes helpful.
Each delicacy is like a story, telling the culture and emotions behind the food.
I agree! Food history is always interesting.
Very nice recipie Gemma! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴
Thank you! You too!
@@GemmaStafford Thanks Gemma! 🤩🤩🤩
My mother jn law used to keep canned bread in her pantry. I liked it. I haven't seen any in years
Relive those times by making this, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/ at home. 😊
How Cow❤. Grew up there and miss this so much. Someone actually ordered it for me for Christmas one year. Not sure it is still out there. I will be making this right away. Reminds me of cold blizzard nights in the kitchen with my family, hotdogs, baked beans and New England style hotdog rolls toasted with butter…..and chowda❤
I hope you'll give this a go. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/

Ouu Gemma! This is cool.
I think so, too! I hope you'll give it a go! Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/
@@GemmaStafford thank you very much, I received in my email too ❤️
I've only heard of this bread from the American Girl Doll books (Mrs. Gilford, the housekeeper of Molly's family, baked it and had Molly and her friends sample it). I was intrigued when Mrs. Gilford said it was baked in a coffee can! Another bread that was mentioned among her ration bread attempts was "Red Bread", made with tomato juice and apparently more on the pink side than red.
Thank you for sharing this interesting piece of information.
it is very good with cream cheese - yum!
Yummy!
Ooh yummy and I never new you can steam bread in a can
And it's so good!
Do tomato soup too!!! Love brown bread with baked beans and ham. Sunday best. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing I would like to try to make it 😅
Go for it! Here's the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/
I remember as a child having brown bread in a can, but it had dates and walnuts in it. I was born in Florida so maybe it's a southern thing? It was delicious with a little cream cheese spread on it. We had it for dessert!
Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Very similar to our family recipe, no Irish influence that I am aware of. Instead of rye or whole wheat and corn, we use bran flakes. I have also successfully used just bran. Generally, bran flakes are easy to find and work great. I crush them in a large measuring cup. I probably use more molasses than you, but proportions are generally similar. Also, I have various size cans, which all work but cook more or less fast. The oven works fine because the can seals in the moisture. I generally leave the foil off because we like the crunchy top. Ours is a sweet brown bread, so obviously sugar is a must.
Great additions are raisins, walnuts, dried apricots, Old Grandad, more molasses, raisins soaked in Old Grandad. You get the idea.
I'm going to try it with the corn meal, but I will definitely stay with sugar.
Go for it, John. Thanks for sharing your insights here.
I grew up in New England (Maine), brown bread was a Saturday night staple along with home made baked beans.
It does taste like that kind of bread! Thanks for sharing.
Hii Gemma!! I was wondering if you could show us how to make non alcoholic piña colada’s? Or multiple non alcoholic cocktails! Or welll I guess there mocktails then lol 😂 love ur energy!!! x
I'll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@GemmaStafford thank you so much!!!
This is interesting
I hope you'll give it a go. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/ Go for it!
This almost looks like the coffee can bread we made when I was in Home Ec. class at school.
It actually is!
Look forward to making this as it is hard to find the B&M bread in a can 😀👍
For some reason, when they moved the factory out of Maine, they stopped making as much of some products and brown bread was one of them.
Can't wait to hear how you get on with the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/
😮
What should be the gas temperatures? Slow to medium?
Hi Gemma, can I use Semolina for this in place of fine cornmeal?
I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure how it will turn out. Sorry.
There actually behave brick ovens. Nothing like what we hav3 today , but the got the job done. 😅
Any idea how long to steam in instant pot? My husband grew up on this, would love to make some for him 😊
Yes, you can steam the Boston Brown Bread in an Instant Pot or a pressure cooker.
Prepare the batter per this recipe: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/.
Add 2 cups (480ml) of hot water and a trivet in the insert pot of the 6qt/8qt Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Put the baking dish or the can filled with the bread batter on the trivet.
Close the lid, cook on HIGH for 45 minutes then quickly release the pressure, or cook on HIGH for 30 minutes and naturally release the pressure.
@@GemmaStafford thank you 🤗
Can't find a metal can right now. If I have to bake in oven, please let me know the temperature and how long to bake. Thanks Gemma.
You can bake it in a water bath in the oven: preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the batter in a buttered loaf pan and place the loaf pan in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water, then bake and check the bread for doneness after 1½ hours.
@@GemmaStafford thank you so much. Appreciate all your baking tips. Your are amazing 👏
Do you think this could work in the instant pot?

I don’t have a steamer 😩 I so want to make this but lack that one item needed the steamer insert any ideas on what else I can use?
A pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot. Check online for the time required.
A rice cooker might also work. She did say if you don't have a steamer basket you can put in a upturned baking tray/dish
@@BunnyRea13 ~Thank you..her accent is so heavy at times I can’t understand her,,lol..
@@Fritz0616 Try turning on the captions.
@@Fritz0616 It's an Irish brogue.
lol, I combined all the ingredients, and then watched the video to make sure my runny consistency was fine, and then noticed that you don't seem to mention allspice in the video, and I've already added it, and I started to worry I've ruined it... but you do mention it in your blog post, thank f
Hi. I didn't include it in the video, hence no mention of it. In the recipe, it is indicated as an optional ingredient. Hope this helps.
I love brown molasses bread
That's a perfectly good reason to give this a go! Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/boston-brown-bread-in-a-can/
@@GemmaStafford thank you!
Has a Bostonian born and bred this recipe way too late it should be two or three shades darker meaning you need more molasses. And always raisins!
Thanks for the tips!
I love ya Gemma... But colonial era America wasn't late 1800s. Not only did they have stoves, but they had electricity too by 1886!
Lol. I'm just teasing ya. Having a laugh. Don't worry, most Americans don't know history either. They won't notice 😂
