Slow Cooker Rosemary Bread ~ A savory, round loaf bread made with simple ingredients and just 2 1/2 hours in the crockpot.

Yesterday’s snowy weather kept the baby and I home all day.

We painted, played games, watched movies… and baked bread in a whole new way – in the slow cooker.  

Okay, it’s not a new method but it was one I had never tried before. I was actually feeling pretty skeptical about how the bread would turn out, in the beginning.

Mixing the dough, I kept thinking, “Is this really going to work?”

I can tell you with confidence now that, yes, it does work.

And now I can see some real advantages to using the slow cooker method:

  • the bread has a softer texture than oven-baked
  • doesn’t heat up the kitchen like running the oven for long periods of time.

This is a recipe for Rosemary Bread because I had a package of fresh rosemary in the fridge I needed to use or lose.

Really though, you could use whatever herb or combination of herbs you’ve got hanging around.

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Rosemary Bread:

  • warm water
  • active dry yeast
  • olive oil
  • fresh rosemary
  • sea salt
  • all-purpose flour

 

How to make Slow Cooker Rosemary Bread:

Into a large mixing bowl, add warm water and yeast. Allow to stand 5-7 minutes, until the yeast begins to bubble.

To the yeast mixture, add olive oil, rosemary, sea salt, and all-purpose flour. Stir to combine.

Using a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer or your very clean hands, knead the dough until soft and elastic.

Lightly oil your slow cooker.

Place bread dough in the center of the pot.

Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours.

Lift the lid a few 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 rosemary bread from the slow cooker.

Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing, at least 1 hour.

Serve warm or room temperature.

 

Cheers!
