Crock Pot Bread Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 4 tablespoons olive oil

  divided
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons dried rosemary

Instructions

• 1 Start by mixing the warm water (105°F - 110°F), sugar, and active dry yeast
  together until sugar and yeast are disolved.
• 2 Let it sit for 15 minutes in a warm spot, until foamy.
• 3 Mix salt and 3 tablespoons olive oil into yeast mixture.
• 4 Stir in the flour and continue to mix until a shaggy loaf is formed (not super
  smooth, still lumpy).
• 5 Pour the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth and
  no longer sticky. You can also knead it with a dough hook in a stand mixer. 
• 6 Coat a large bowl with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Place the dough inside the bowl
  and turn it over so the dough is coated in olive oil. 
• 7 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it in a warm spot to rise for 45
  minutes, until doubled in size.
• 8 Line your crock pot with two sheets of parchment paper coated with cooking
  spray. 
• 9 Carefully place the dough in the crockpot and brush the remaining 1/2 tablespoon
  olive oil on top.
• 10 Sprinkle rosemary over the olive oil.
• 11 Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours.
• 12 Remove bread from slow cooker and brown under the broiler of your oven for 1-2
  minutes, if desired. 
• 13 Let fully cool before slicing.
• 14 Serve and enjoy!
