Crockpot Bread Recipe
A soft and cozy Crockpot Bread Recipe made with simple ingredients, easy steps, and a rustic homemade finish.
Equipment
- 6-quart slow cooker
- Large mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey optional
Instructions
- Mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the bread flour, salt, olive oil, and honey if using. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead for about 5 minutes, just until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Place the dough on parchment in the slow cooker, cover with paper towels, and cook on high for 2 hours.
- Lift out the bread and cool it before slicing.
Notes
- Use bread flour for the best texture, but all-purpose flour works too.
- Paper towels under the lid help reduce condensation.
- Broil briefly after cooking for a more golden top.
- Cool fully before slicing so the crumb sets.
