Coffee Can Yeast Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. dry yeast
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 c. warm water
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 (13 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. oil
4 to 5 c. flour

Preparation

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl.
Add ginger and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Let stand 15 minutes.
Add rest of sugar, salt, oil and evaporated milk.
Add flour gradually until dough is heavy and not sticky.
Knead on a floured board for 5 minutes. Divide and place into two greased one-pound coffee cans or one 2 pound can. Put lids on.
Let rise in warm place until dough pushes against top.
Remove lids and bake in a 350\u00b0 oven until done (1 pound can equals 45 minutes; 2 pound can equals 1 hour).
If top gets too brown while baking, drape foil over top.
Brush with butter for soft crust.
