How to Make Coffee Can Cheese Bread

  1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast.
  4. Gradually add the warm liquid mixture to the flour and yeast, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer or vigorously by hand until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a stiff batter forms.
  8. Continue beating until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  9. Grease two 1-pound coffee cans thoroughly.
  10. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared coffee cans, filling each about halfway.
  11. Cover the cans tightly with their plastic lids.
  12. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the batter has doubled in size and is about 1/2 inch below the rim of the can.
  13. Carefully remove the lids from the coffee cans.
  14. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  15. Let the bread cool in the cans for 15 minutes.
  16. Carefully remove the bread from the cans and let cool completely on a wire rack.
