Chef Stephanie Petersen said:I must have missed something, because I have always layed them on their sides. They turn out great for me, but that is with yeast breads.

Wait, are we talking about the bread crocks or the metal flower/heart/star shaped tubes? I assumed the metal tubes.
Bread tubes are used for making decorative and filled breads such as stuffed rolls, filled breadsticks, and braided loaves. They can also be used for shaping bread dough into different designs and patterns.
To use a bread tube, first grease the inside of the tube with cooking spray or oil. Then, fill the tube with your desired bread dough or filling. Bake according to the recipe's instructions, and carefully remove the bread from the tube once it is done baking.
Most types of bread dough can be used with a bread tube, as long as it is soft and pliable enough to fit into the tube. Some common bread doughs used with bread tubes include pizza dough, bread dough, and pastry dough.
Yes, bread tubes are designed to be used in the oven. They are heat-resistant and can withstand high temperatures without warping or melting.
To clean a bread tube, first allow it to cool completely. Then, use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to clean the inside and outside of the tube. Rinse thoroughly and dry before storing.
