Camp fire Bread

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 1 pound bread dough
• butter or margarine
• 1 small coffee can
• 1 large coffee can

Preparation:

After breakfast, when the fire has burned down to coals, coat the inside of the small coffee can with butter, and put the dough into it. Cover with foil and set in a warm spot near the fire. Allow to rise until approximately doubled in volume (about 30 minutes). Discard foil cover. Line the bottom of the large can with about one inch of pebbles 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 inches of the bottom. Cover the top with foil and poke a few holes to allow air. Check by lifting foil in about twenty to thirty minutes. Bread is done when brown on top.
