Equipment

  • 1 6-7 quart slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water warm
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • fresh rosemary chopped
  • sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yeast, flour, and salt. Stir in the water until the dough is just sticking together. 
  • Roll the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot 8-12 hours (we just leave ours by the oven overnight).
  • Line a large (6+ quart) slow cooker bowl with parchment.
  • Shape the dough roughly into a loaf and put into the lined slow cooker. Dampen two paper towel sheets and cover the top of the dough.
  • Cook on high 2 hours, or until the bread's internal temp is 190F (otherwise, it's hard to tell it's cooked).
  • Heat your broiler on high. Place the bread on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary or whatever your favorite crust seasonings are. Broil 2-4 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
  • Serve and enjoy!
