Coffee Can Campfire Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Also requires 1 small coffee can and 1 large coffee can.
• Grease and coat the small coffee can liberally with the butter or cooking spray.
• Place dough in can and cover with foil. Place in warm area, perhaps on the ashes of the outskirts of a campfire until dough rises, until almost doubled in volume.
• Line the bottom of the large can with about 1 or 2 inchs of pebbles, small rocks or sand to keep the bread from burning on the bottom. Set the small can inside the large one, making sure the sides don't touch, and then insert the large can into the coals, burying about two or three inches of the bottom. Cover the entire top with foil and poke a few holes to allow air. Check by lifting foil in about 40 to 50 minutes. Bread is done when brown on top.
• Feel free to use different kinds of bread dough. I used a pound of wheat dough mixed in my bread machine.

Steps:

• 1. Mix first 3 ingredients warm water, yeast, and sugar - let stand until bubbly (about 15 minutes).
• 2. Now mix other ingredients in separate bowl, then add the yeast mixture. knead the dough for 10 min.
• 3. Fill the two greased 1-pound coffee cans half full with dough and place greased plastic lids on the cans.
• 4. Let bread rise in warm place until coffee can lids pop off.
• 5. Bake 45 minutes at 350°. Enjoy your coffee can bread!

Steps:

• Mix 4 ingredients till combined. Cover with foil and let sit in a warm place for 12 - 18 hours. Preheat oven to 450ºF. when ready to bake. Place cast iron pot in the oven to warm for 30 minutes. (Can use a nice pot like Le Creuset or just your average rusty dutch oven, minus rust!) While the pot is warming, dump your dough out onto a heavily floured surface. While it has been sitting, it has been turning into a wet, bubbly goo. (I may add other ingredients at this point. I use 1/2 chopped, sauteed onion, 2-3 cloves garlic, 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil and 1 heaping Tablespoon Rosemary. Yummy) So dump it out and dust it with flour. Turn it over a couple times just so it forms into a ball. Cover with a towel and let sit for up to 2 hours, or until you pot is heated. Then place the ball of dough into the pot. Cover with lid and bake at 450)F. for 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes. The bread should sound hollow when tapped.

Steps:

• Mix in a small bowl the first 3 ingredients.
• Cover with a towel and let stand for 15 minutes.
• Mix next 4 ingredients. Add yeast mixture and flour. Mix all well.
• Divide dough into 2 greased 1 pound coffee cans. Put plastic lid on cans and allow to rise till lid pops off.
• Remove lids and place cans upright in 350 oven for 35 minutes or till desired brownness is reached.
