Slow Cooker Basic White Bread

1. 1

   Pour 1/2 cup of water into crock pot and preheat the slow cooker/crock pot on High with the lid on.

2. 2

   Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of the lukewarm water or milk with the sugar and set in a warm - not hot - place.

3. 3

   Put the flour in a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt.

4. 4

   Make a well in the centre.

5. 5

   When the yeast is bubbly, pour the rest of the water or milk, the yeast mixture, and the oil into the well.

6. 6

   Stir with your fingers (I use a soup spoon) until all the flour has been absorbed.

7. 7

   Grease a 2 quart mold and place the bread in it. (You can use a coffee can, a casserole dish or a loaf pan, whatever will fit inside your crockpot).

8. 8

   Brush milk with a pastry brush over the top of the bread.

9. 9

   Cover loosely with a plate and let stand for 5 minutes in a warm place.

10. 10

    Place on a trivet in the slow cooker, cover the cooker, and bake on High for 2 to 3 hours.
