Slow Cooker Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F)
• Optional: 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Mix the Dough:
   • Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
   • Gradually add the warm water and mix until a sticky dough forms.
   • If desired, add honey or sugar for extra flavor.
2. First Rise:
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth.
   • Let the dough rise at room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
3. Shape the Dough:
   • Flour your hands and shape the dough into a round loaf.
   • Place the shaped dough on parchment paper.
4. Preheat the Slow Cooker:
   • Turn on your slow cooker to the “High” setting.
   • Place the lid on to preheat the cooker.
5. Bake the Bread:
   • Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the dough into the preheated slow cooker.
   • Cover with the slow cooker lid.
   • Bake for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on your slow cooker model.
   • Use a digital thermometer to check the bread’s internal temperature. To ensure it’s fully baked, it should reach 200°F (93°C).
6. Final Touch:
   • Once baked, remove the bread from the slow cooker and let it cool on a wire rack.
   • Slice and enjoy!

Tips:

• You can experiment with different types of flour (whole wheat, rye, etc.) for variations.
• Add herbs, seeds, or grated cheese to the dough for extra flavor.
• Adjust the baking time based on your slow cooker’s performance.

Slow cooker bread won’t have the same crust as oven-baked bread, but it’s a convenient way to enjoy fresh homemade bread. Happy baking! 🍞
