I am in NJ, USA and I used to buy the round bread in the grocery stores. I loved it! I can no longer find it. Nor do I remember the brand name.
Ill keep searching !

Pumpernickel? (German for 'Devil Fart'.)

It's not a brand name; rather it is the word for a spherical loaf of dark
rye.

Pumpernickel doesn't need to be round. It's defined by the type of
flour with which it is made.

I've seen oval loaves far more often than round ones. And when I make
pumpernickel bread myself, I make it oval.

I can remember seeing those round loaves way back in England. They were
called 'milk loaves'.

I agree with the least expensive round/cylinder using an ordinary aluminum can, several sizes available makes great breads/cakes perfect for GIFT-Giving, use wax-paper, grosgrain ribbon, homemade tag, even a paper-bag is delightful. Hope you try it! alovelyV On Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 8:07:01 AM UTC-5, Ophelia wrote:

Correct. I have been looking for one of the pans for baking such
loaves at home. The commercial round loaves I originally
inquired about were my starting point my search for the pan. I
thought if I knew what the bread was called, I'd know what to
look for in a pan. Eventually, my search skipped past the
commercial loaf to finding the name of the loaf type and what to
call the pan I was searching for.

Thus far, all I have found are commercial pans to make 4-8 loaves
at a time or vintage/antique pans in unusable condition. There
was a UK web site that offered Mermaid brand milk loaf pans; but,
they have not responded to repeated email requests about shipping
to the US. Bummer! My quest continues.

=

I just had a look and they sell them on Amazon, but they are out of stock
atm.

these are the first one I have seen that doesn't mention Mermaid:

I know them as bus breads. The only unusual thing about them is the
shape, as far as I know.

Here it was known as a tank loaf. They seem to have gone out of
fashion.

Didn't something called "Boston Brown Bread" use to come in this
shape? I remember it being sold in cylindrical tins (cans).

My mom baked date nut loaf in metal coffee cans. She'd bake several
at once, they'd keep well in the coffee cans with the plastic lid
popped on.

Years ago I remember a couple of bakeries that made raisin bread in the
cylindrical form. Had some sugar on the outside too.
