White Bread Baked In A Coffee Can - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 - 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Preparation

Sift flour onto piece of waxed paper. Measure 1-1/2 cups of this flour into a large bowl; stir in yeast.
In saucepan, place milk, water, oil, sugar and salt. Set over low heat and heat only until warm, stirring to blend.
Add liquid ingredients to flour and yeast in bowl and beat until smooth.
Blend in eggs.
Add enough additional flour to make a stiff batter, beating until smooth and elastic. Spoon batter into 2 well-greased 1-pound coffee cans.
Cover with plastic snap-on lids and place in a warm spot for dough to rise.
When dough has almost reached top of cans, about 1 hour, remove lids and bake at 375 F. for 35 minutes or until bread is high and well-browned.
Let cool in cans for 10 minutes before turning out on rack to cool completely.
