A simple and rustic bread recipe made right in your slow cooker, perfect for when you want fresh, homemade bread with minimal effort.
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional toppings: herbs, seeds, or cheese
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Carefully remove the bread from the slow cooker and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
