Crockpot Bread Recipe

Transform your bread-making with this no-fuss, deliciously simple crockpot method.

  • Total Time: 53 minute
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (approximately 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Make the Dough: Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth.
  4. First Rise: Oil a bowl, place the dough inside, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  5. Shape and Prep Crockpot: Punch down the dough, shape into a loaf, and sprinkle cornmeal in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the dough on top.
  6. Bake in Crockpot: Cover and set to high heat. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the bread has a golden crust.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the crockpot and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
