PEPPER CHEESE BREAD



Pepper Cheese Bread image

This is absolutely the best pepper cheese bread recipe I have ever found. It came from Betty Crocker years ago when they did their recipe boxes back in the 70's. It is baked in 1 lb. coffee cans. My mom had the lime green recipe box when I was a kid, but lost it. Betty Crocker was kind enough to find me the actual recipe card for this and sent it to me. So enjoy!

COFFEE CAN CHEESE BREAD



Coffee Can Cheese Bread image

It's fun to try different things in the kitchen for me. I love to experiment. This recipe is one of those kind-of recipes. This bread is mixed then placed in a coffee can where it rises and bakes. Pretty cool, if you ask me, and a great way to turn trash into something useful. And the bread ain't bad either!

Tips:

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the bread tough.
  • If you don't have a bread machine, you can knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
  • Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
