Slow Cooker Bread
Description
Slow Cooker Bread uses a dough made from lukewarm water, sugar, active dry yeast, salt, and all-purpose flour. After allowing the yeast to foam and activate, the ingredients are mixed to form a dough that is kneaded briefly and shaped into a ball. The dough then bakes inside a slow cooker preheated on high, lined with parchment paper. It cooks for around two hours until the top is crisp and the base sounds hollow when tapped, indicating a baked-through loaf.
After the slow cooker stage, the bread is transferred to a baking sheet and finished in a preheated oven at 450°F to enhance the crust’s crispness. This produces a loaf with a crisp exterior and tender crumb suitable for sandwiches or serving with meals.
This method is practical for baking bread without an oven at start, or for a different texture. Monitoring during cooking is suggested to achieve the desired crust and doneness.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup water lukewarm
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2/3 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Turn the slow cooker on high, line it with parchment paper, close the lid, and let it preheat while you work on the bread.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the water, yeast, and sugar, and let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes. This activates the yeast, the mixture should start to rise and appear foamy. If it's not, discard and repeat this step.
- Next, add the salt, and flour, and mix until well incorporated, the dough should pull from the sides of the bowl, and they should look clean.
- Transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured surface and knead for one minute, just until smooth. After that, form the dough into a ball and place it into the preheated slow cooker, and close the lid.
- Bake on high for 2 hours, checking on it occasionally. The top should be crispy, and when you tap on the bottom, the bread should sound hollow.
- Once the bread is done, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place it in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes to brown the top, careful to not burn it.
