This recipe was written on an index card and found in a large collection, date unknown. It states the yield for different pan sizes including “Makes 5 – 1 lb cans round” which I believe to mean this is a suitable coffee can recipe for bread (using 1 lb. cans). Recipe is typed below along with a scanned copy.
