Cheesy Coffee Can Bread

Submitted by DuChick

"I haven't tried this yet, mostly because I don't have any coffee cans! This requires 2 one-pound cans that rise and bake right inside. I think the round slices would create a lot of interest too. Let me know how it turns out! Note: times do not include rising and cooling time."
