Pop-Up Bread

Submitted By: Marie Delffs

Ingredients

• 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 package (1/4 ounce) 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 (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour with yeast. Heat milk, water, oil, sugar, and salt until warm (120-130°), stirring to blend. Add to flour mixture along with eggs and cheese. Beat with an electric mixter or by hand until batter is smooth.
Using a spoon, mix in remaining flour (batter will be stiff). Divide batter, and spoon into two well-greased, one-pound coffee cans. Cover with plastic lids and let rise in a warm place until batter is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch below plastic lids, about 45 to 60 minutes. Remove lids and bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes in cans before removing. Cool on wire rack.
