Cheesy Coffee Can Bread

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.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Yields: 2 loaves

Ingredients

• 3 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 (1/4ounce) 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, beaten
• 1  cup  shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour with yeast.
2. Heat milk, water, oil, sugar and salt until warm (120 to 130 degrees), stirring to blend; add to flour mixture along with eggs and cheese.
3. Beat with an electric mixer or by hand until batter is smooth.
4. Using a spoon, mix in the remaining flour (batter will be stiff).
5. Divide batter and spoon into two well-greased one-pound coffee cans.
6. Cover with plastic lids.
7. Let rise in warm place until batter is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the plastic lids--about 45 to 60 minutes.
8. Remove lids and bake at 375* for 30-45 minutes.
9. Cool for 15 minutes in cans before removing. If necessary, run a knife around the inside of the cans to remove.
10. Cool on wire rack.
11. Makes 2 bread loaves.
