Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Step 2

Cut two 6-inch squares of foil. Coat insides of cans and one side of foil squares with 1 tablespoon butter.

Step 3

Stir milk, molasses, brown sugar and salt in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is just warmed (do not boil).

Step 4

Whisk flours, cornmeal, baking soda and baking powder in a large bowl.

Step 5

Add milk mixture; whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in raisins, if using.

Step 7

Divide batter between cans. Smooth tops. Cover cans with foil, butter side down. Secure foil with kitchen twine.

Step 8

Place cans foil side up in a deep roasting pan or a heavy shallow pot. Transfer pan to oven. Pour very hot water into pan to come about 3 inches up sides of cans.

Step 9

Bake until a skewer inserted through foil into the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.

Step 10

Transfer to a wire rack. Let cool for 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of cans. Invert to release loaves onto rack. Let cool completely.

Step 11

Slice bread. Serve with soft butter.

Delicious bread which we enjoyed with hotdogs and beans. The only change I made was instead of the rye flour I used and equal amount of whole wheat. The steaming process also worked great. We made a coffee can shaped loaf and one in a regular loaf pan. Delicious! Thanks for sharing!
