JODIE'S 3C BREAD
I have been making this for many years. I started making them in coffee cans and vegetable cans to give as gifts and to send for gifts they are real handy when needing to ship in the mail or Fed-Ex or by UPS. What is real nice about baking in the cans is when you slice them is that they fit in the toaster perfectly or on a party tray beautifully. I love the 3C bread more so because I am not a big fruit cake person. Sometimes I add spiced rum for that special touch.

Tips:
- Use fresh, active dry yeast. Old or inactive yeast will not produce enough gas to raise the bread properly.
- Make sure the water is warm, but not hot. Hot water will kill the yeast.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce gas and raise the bread.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
