Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add the warm water while stirring until a sticky dough forms. Knead lightly until all ingredients are combined well.
  2. Cook in Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker. Transfer the dough into the slow cooker and spread it evenly. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours until the bread is set and cooked through, with a firm crust.
  3. Cool and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the bread from the slow cooker and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Allow the dough to rise slightly before placing it in the slow cooker for a better crumb texture.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker model; check for doneness by tapping the crust for a hollow sound.
  • For a crispier crust, finish the bread under a broiler or in a hot oven for a few minutes after slow cooking.
  • Use warm water to activate the yeast properly but avoid water that’s too hot, which can kill the yeast.
