Want some AMAZING home-made bread!?
Why not try making some yourself using my CROCK-POT BREAD technique!
Crock-Pots and other brand names of stoneware slow cookers are favorites for slow and simple cooking of meats, soups, and stews, and now you can use them for your bread baking too!
I'll take you through my experiments and what I've learned so that I now can bake bread in a Crock-Pot!
This all started after I posted an Instructable on how I bake bread in a Dutch Oven. Somebody commented "but have you tried this recipe with a Crock-Pot?"
That got my brain really going, and I'm proud to now say that "Yes, as a matter of fact, I CAN bake bread in a crock pot!
I'll take you through step-by-step in a direct heating method, and then also show you how to modify a Crock-Pot for baking AND also use a double-boiler baking method!
Follow these instructions, and you too will be able to BAKE BREAD IN A CROCK-POT!

Tools & Ingredients
To start with, you will need a Crock-Pot or slow cooker. Make sure it's the round, medium-sized one. That's the right size and shape for this recipe.
You'll also need a mixing bowl, dry and wet measuring cups, measuring spoons, and parchment paper. You may also want a non-contact instant-read thermometer to set up your Crock-Pot the first time.
My crock-pot-bread uses the same recipe as my bread-in-a-pot recipe, except with a little more flour.
For the ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
1&1/2 teaspoons of Salt
1&1/2 cups warm water
3+ cups flour (all-purpose, unbleached natural white)

There are other versions of this called Sous Vide which will cost you a bundle at a fancy restaurant but can be done at HOME on the cheap using a PICNIC COOLER and some ZIPLOCK BAGS. Again you will need to heat SOMETHING--in this case WATER--but you then immerse your bags or sealed vac-bags and cover with heated water--not sure if it has to be boiling when added or not--and wander off and take a nap and come back for dinner--gently cooked food AND hot bread if you are clever and time it right!
Somewhere out here in cyber space is a STEAK RECIPE cooked this way that I am longing to try one day. Allegedly the BEST steak. We shall see!
You can also cook steel cut oats overnight in a thermos.

I haven't tried sous Vide yet, but I HAVE made yogurt in a Scientific Water Bath!
I have a GE crockpot that has a nonstick metal liner (I was less than pleased when i found out that fact .. but the wife says she likes it so we kept it. Personally I miss my old rival but I haven't found a replacement stoneware for the one that broke.)
I am so glad I'm not the only one that uses the laser thermometer in the kitchen ... SEE HUNNY, I TOLD YOU I WASN'T WIERD .. lol
Try the double-boiler method. I bet that would work fine for you.
Instant read thermometers are great! Everyone should have one in the kitchen!
