Other Bread tube ideas

v Make your own slice and serve cookies. Fill tube with home made cookie dough and freeze. Wrap warm towel around tube to loosen. Push out and slice cookies, already shaped!
v Batter Breads and cakes - like a nice, thick banana bread or zucchini bread. You may need to leave out 1/8 of the liquid to get the batter thick enough. For a regular cake batter remove ½ c liquid from the batter. Place foil over the bottom before placing on the cap. Place tube on a metal pan to catch drippings. Jiffy Banana Nut Muffin/Bread Mix works well, just decrease the liquid a bit. Caution: do not over fill bread tubes. 2/3 to ¾ is all it takes. Tips: Always bake upright. Also, the Pampered Chef cake tester is a must have for baking batters because it is long enough to reach the middle.

Quick question RE banana bread in a tube... do you bake it upright or sideways, and do you fill it all the way up, or allow a little room for rising?
