Just a heads up - shipping anything from the US is stupid expensive whoever is doing it, so just be aware that postage for any friend might be almost as much as any online shop. And we used to have canned croissants! I remember those now, so thanks for the reminder!
I did wonder what private postage costs would be. I just thought at least someone from the US could buy the item cheaply, the cheapest I've found was about £17 before postage!
I don't remember canned croissants, now that really doesn't appeal!
I don’t live in America, so unfortunately I won’t be able to send you this bread. But I was very surprised that such bread was produced. I'm only used to freshly baked bread ))
You can actually do that yourself. In glass, obviously.
For canning jars use the tumbler style ones so the bread is easy to get out. For the same reason, put some oil inside and move it to coat the glass. Doesn't have to be much, the bottom is enough. You need to to use an oil or fat that can take high heat for this.
Put the bread dough in, 1/3 or 1/2 of the hight of the jar max. Obviously that depends on the type of dough, how much it will rise during baking
Bake your jars in the oven, from cold so the glass can adjust to the heat. Put them on a rack and not a metal pan or sheet. Also, none of the jars can touch, they need space inbetween.
After baking take the jars out, close them with the warmed jar lids. If the bread went higher than the jar, you can just cut the bread down. The hot jars always have to be put on something like a dishtowel, you don't want to shock and break the hot glass by putting it on a cold stone surface.
After they have lids bake for 30 minutes at 130 C in a hot water bath, let them rest in the oven for

I have never seen this in the part of the US I'm in. The canned croissants, yes. Pilsbury Crescent rolls, maybe? In that style there are rolls, French bread, pizza dough--all these things need to be refrigerated though.
Hunh. I just looked it up and it claims there are stores in our area that carry it. But Maryland is not exactly our area. I'll look when I go out because this is wild! 🤣

The canned croissants were canned dough really, if I remember right the can had metal lids either end but was made of card.

PS found it here (expensive but no extra shipping) - try searching on canned bread uk
Also much cheaper £5.99 here

Ah, the European one is a good option if the US one isn't practical! Thank you for investigating :)

I'm with you - I've got to say it doesn't appeal to me, but Mr D is curious! He's got a much more adventurous palate than I have!!
