I inadvertently stumbled upon this website and found a recipe to make homemade bread in your crockpot. I am NOT a baker, and definitely struggle with recipes involving yeast. I tend to not measure ingredients, and that's a big no-no for baking. But this recipe looked so easy, even I could do it. So I did. Now here's the bad part of this recipe. It says it takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours for bread to bake on high in the crockpot. So I put it in at 3 pm, so it would be ready for our dinner. It took FOUR hours and probably could have gone another 30 minutes longer. Needless to say it was NOT ready for our dinner. But that didn't stop us from digging into it right out of the crockpot...at 7 pm. :) Although this is a very dense bread, and one that you would want to eat slathered in butter but not as bread for a sandwich, it was still very good and got rave reviews from our household. Nothing fancy, that's for sure, but delicious none-the-less...at least to us!!
3 cup
Flour
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp or 1 packet Yeast
2 tbsp Sugar or Honey
2 tbsp Oil
1 cup warm (not hot!) Water
Measure flour into large bowl. Add salt, sugar and yeast and mix together well. Add Oil and water. Stir with a spoon until it gets stiff and sticky. Work the dough with your hands (occasionally scraping dough off your fingers) until it forms a nice ball. If it stays too sticky add a bit more flour (1/4 cup at a time). If it gets too dry add a bit more water (teaspoon at a time). When it get a good ball, scatter flour on you work surface and turn out ball on to surface. Knead dough for 5-6 minutes.
Line Crockpot with parchment paper. Place dough in crock pot and cook on high for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. You will need to lift bread out with the parchment paper to see if the bottom is browning. When bottom is browning, place loaf under broiler for a couple of minutes to brown top. (I just flipped ours over when it was starting to brown on the bottom so the top browned too!
