4 c. all-purpose flour
1 pkg. dry yeast
1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. water

Measure 1 1/2 cups of flour in a large bowl. Stir in yeast; set aside. In a saucepan combine milk, sugar, oil and water; heat until warm. Add to flour and yeast mixture. Stir in the eggs and remaining flour.

With a wooden spoon, mix until smooth and elastic. Spoon into 2 (1-pound) coffee cans that have been well greased. Cover with lid and place in a warm place until they rise to the top of plastic lid.

Remove lid and bake in a moderate oven 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until brown. Set on rack for 10 minutes. Let cool before slicing. This bread can be made with whole wheat flour and molasses or brown sugar instead of white sugar.
