Maucia's Coffee Can Bread

Put the yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar and warm water in mixer bowl and stir.

Cover; let stand until bubbles form (about 15 minutes). Add flour, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar and salt to the yeast mixture after bubbles have formed.

Mix well! Divide into 2 parts and drop into well-greased one-pound coffee cans.

Punch dough down with a spoon to remove air.

Place greased coffee can lids on cans.

Let stand at room temperature until lids pop off (about 1 hour).

Remove lids and grease top of dough to make better crust. Bake in cans at 350° for 45 minutes, until crust is brown.
