Categories     Bread     Side Dish

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

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)

Steps:

  • 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 F degrees. 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!

SLOW COOKER BREAD



Slow Cooker Bread image

Bread made in the slow cooker actually turns out a decent loaf, and it's very easy because this is a no-knead recipe. It is also quick because it requires only one rise; the second rise happens in the slow cooker. Adding seeds or rolled oats not only adds flavor, it also makes it easier to release the bread from the slow cooker.

Time 4h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup lukewarm water
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 ½ cups bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon lukewarm water, or more as needed
parchment paper
¼ cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Stir 1 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let sit until frothy or foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix flour and salt together in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Add yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined and no traces of flour remain. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and stir again; dough should be tacky but not wet.
  • Cover container with the lid. Let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Set slow cooker to High. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Dust a clean work surface with flour. Knead dough briefly with floured hands to get rid of any air pockets. Shape into a round or oval loaf depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle some of the sesame seeds on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining seeds generously all around the loaf. Place dough in the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
  • Cook on High for 2 hours. Lift the lid a couple of times during cooking to release the steam. An instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the loaf should read between 200 and 210 degrees F (93 to 99 degrees C). The surface of the bread should be dry and no longer spongy. Remove the loaf and tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
  • Remove loaf from the slow cooker. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour.

OVERNIGHT SLOW COOKER BREAD



Overnight Slow Cooker Bread image

I developed this recipe for those days when you want homemade bread but you don't want to turn on the oven and heat the house. It's simple to make with ingredients that you probably have on hand. I get this started in the evening to enjoy for lunch. The longer the dough is allowed to ferment, the more complex the flavor of the loaf.

Time 14h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 ½ cups bread flour
1 ½ cups warm water
1 teaspoon fine salt
½ teaspoon quick-rise yeast
2 tablespoons bread flour

Steps:

  • Place 3 1/2 cups flour, water, salt, and yeast in a large glass or ceramic bowl; mix by hand until just incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it on a thick kitchen towel on the counter. Let sit on the counter for 12 to 18 hours.
  • Sprinkle a clean work surface with 2 tablespoons flour. Scrape the dough (it will be sticky) from the bowl onto the work surface. Stretch and fold the dough over several times, working in some of the flour. Shape into a round loaf.
  • Place parchment paper inside a slow cooker, making sure to drape it up the sides. Place the dough in the center of the slow cooker, and trim off any parchment paper that hangs over the rim. Place a double layer of paper towels over the slow cooker and secure the lid.
  • Cook on High without peeking for 2 hours. Remove bread to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.

SLOW COOKER BREAD



Slow cooker bread image

Make an easy loaf with this slow cooker bread recipe. This simple project is perfect for beginners and uses strong wholemeal or white flour

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Side dish, Snack

Time 2h55m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 3

500g strong wholemeal flour or strong white flour (or a mix of flours, see tip), plus extra for dusting
7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
1g fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Measure 350ml warm water and pour most of it into the well. Mix the flour and water together with your fingers or a wooden spoon until combined into a slightly wet, pillowy, workable dough - add a splash more water if necessary.
  • Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for at least 10 mins until smooth and elastic. This can also be done in a tabletop mixer with a dough hook.
  • Shape the dough into a large, tight ball and sit the ball on a square of baking parchment. Use the parchment to lift the dough into your slow cooker, cover and set the slow cooker to high. Leave for 2 hrs.
  • Lift the bread out using the parchment. The bottom should be crusty and the top should be springy, not soft. (If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the middle of the loaf should be 90C.) If it isn't ready, return to the slow cooker for 15 mins and test again - it could take up to 2 hrs 30 mins.
  • The bread won't get a significant crust or golden colour in the slow cooker. Once cooked, you can leave it to cool, or put in the oven at 240C/220C fan/gas 9 for 5-10 mins to get some colour.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Measure and cut your ingredients before starting the recipe so that you can easily add them to the slow cooker.
  • Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze. Simply lift the liner out of the slow cooker and discard it.
  • Don't overfill the slow cooker: Leave at least 2 inches of space at the top of the slow cooker so that the bread has room to rise.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours: This will give the bread time to cook evenly without overcooking.
  • Test the bread for doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool for 15 minutes: This will help the bread to set before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Overnight slow cooker bread is a delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh, homemade bread without a lot of effort. With just a few simple ingredients and a little planning, you can have a warm, fluffy loaf of bread ready for breakfast or dinner. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give overnight slow cooker bread a try.
