Nancree's suggestion is spot on, and I've made these breads many times.
I'm a containers hoarder for the giving foods to others rather than
expecting them to remember to whom a (hopefully) empty dish could
belong and have to return it. The used to be called "one pound coffee
cans" are perfect for the baking of such breads, but just about any can
size works quite well. A few years back my daughter asked for
mini-loaf pans for Christmas, so I made various non-yeast breads in
soup cans for her as well. I then wrapped each loaf in clear wrap to
place the loaves into the mini-pan sections to cello-wrap all real
pretty as a bigger gift. Works for me!
