Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup water lukewarm
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated, optional
Instructions
- Preheat: Turn the slow cooker on high and allow it to preheat. Line the slow cooker with parchment paper; close the lid.
- In the mixer: Add the water, yeast, and sugar and let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes until the yeast activates - you'll notice it starting to rise in the mixer bowl. Next, add the salt, flour, and parmesan cheese and mix with the dough hook until well incorporated. You will know it's ready when the sides of your bowl are clean.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the ball of dough to a lightly floured surface and knead only a few times until it is smooth. Finally, form the dough into a ball and place it into the preheated slow cooker; close the lid.
- Bake: Bake on high for 2 hours, checking occasionally.
- Brown the bread: Preheat your oven to 450℉. Once finished in the slow cooker, place the bread with parchment paper onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes to brown the top!

Notes
- Homemade bread is not going to last as long as store bought bread! It's going to be best to store it at room temperature in a cool dry place and in an airtight plastic bag, to last 2 -3 days.
- Unfortunately placing it in the fridge will not extend the life as the bread will become stale. Also keep in mind, that heat and humidity will cause the bread to mold.
- If you want to freeze your slow cooker bread, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and it will last up to 3 weeks.
