Any 1 lb coffee can will do, it makes the perfect shape for lunch meat.

6)Put plastic lids on coffee cans and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour (or until dough forces the lids off the cans).

7)Bake, uncovered, in an oven that has been preheated to 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes....make sure the rack is on the lowest setting, this bread continues to rise while baking. It’s done when it sounds hollow when tapped... Cover tops with foil if getting too brown. Let stand a few minutes, then slide out of the cans.
notes
The smooth sided gourmet coffee cans brown better, but any 1 lb can works fine. Makes killer french toast & great cheesy garlic bread. Freezes well.
