Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Clean a 1-pound coffee can thoroughly and ensure there are no sharp edges. Spray the interior with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, combine milk, 1/4 cup water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-low until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
In a small bowl, add the yeast to 1/4 cup warm water (100-110°F). Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk mixture and the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in 2 cups of flour, mixing until smooth.
Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour as needed.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and shape it into a log that fits snugly into the prepared coffee can. Place the dough in the can and cover it loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel.
Let the dough rise again in the coffee can for about 30-45 minutes, or until it reaches just below the rim of the can.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the coffee can on a baking sheet and bake the bread for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Carefully remove the bread from the coffee can while it is still warm and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
