This recipe was a hit with my family. I added a little bit of orange zest to the batter, and it gave it a wonderful flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

Not a fan of the texture. Too dense for my taste.

I was skeptical about steaming bread in the crock pot, but it turned out surprisingly good. Will definitely make it again!
