Slow Cooker Bread Food

SLOW COOKER BREAD

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let sit until frothy or foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Mix flour and salt together in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Add yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined and no traces of flour remain. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and stir again; dough should be tacky but not wet.
• Cover container with the lid. Let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set slow cooker to High. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of your slow cooker.
• Dust a clean work surface with flour. Knead dough briefly with floured hands to get rid of any air pockets. Shape into a round or oval loaf depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
• Sprinkle some of the sesame seeds on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining seeds generously all around the loaf. Place dough in the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
• Cook on High for 2 hours. Lift the lid a couple of 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 loaf from the slow cooker. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour.

SLOW COOKER BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Measure 350ml warm water and pour most of it into the well. Mix the flour and water together with your fingers or a wooden spoon until combined into a slightly wet, pillowy, workable dough - add a splash more water if necessary.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for at least 10 mins until smooth and elastic. This can also be done in a tabletop mixer with a dough hook.
• Shape the dough into a large, tight ball and sit the ball on a square of baking parchment. Use the parchment to lift the dough into your slow cooker, cover and set the slow cooker to high. Leave for 2 hrs.
• Lift the bread out using the parchment. The bottom should be crusty and the top should be springy, not soft. (If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the middle of the loaf should be 90C.) If it isn't ready, return to the slow cooker for 15 mins and test again - it could take up to 2 hrs 30 mins.
• The bread won't get a significant crust or golden colour in the slow cooker. Once cooked, you can leave it to cool, or put in the oven at 240C/220C fan/gas 9 for 5-10 mins to get some colour.

SLOW COOKER BREAD

Steps:

• Butter a 6-by-3-inch round pan and set aside.
• Combine the butter, yeast, sugar, salt and 1 cup warm water in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add 1/2 cup of the flour at a time, waiting for each addition to be fully incorporated before adding more. Once all of the flour is added, knead on medium speed for 8 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, transfer the pan to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker and cover with the lid. Cook on high until the internal temperature of the bread registers 200 degrees F, about 2 hours. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool completely.

SLOW COOKER RYE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Soften yeast in warm water. (Use 2/3 cups if climate is humid. If dry climate up it to 7/8 of a cup.)
• 2. Add vegetable oil, pickle juice, salt, sugar, seeds and mustard.
• 3. Combine instant potato flakes and flours. Slowly add to the wet mixture until you have a firm but slightly sticky dough. (You can use your bread hook on your mixer or do this by hand.) Form it into a nice round ball (adding more flour mixture if too sticky to handle).
• 4. Place a piece of parchment paper in your slow cooker (large enough to come up a bit on the sides) and place your dough ball in the center. Turn your slow cooker on high. Bake the loaf for about an hour and 15 minutes. (Slow cooker heats vary so check it after about an hour. As soon as it sounds hollow when you tap it, it is done.)
• 5. Turn off your slow cooker and carefully remove the bread. Turn on your oven's broiler. Paint the top of the loaf with a bit of egg wash and place it under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until it starts to caramelize. (You don't have to do this step if you don't care that your bread top isn't golden brown. It still tastes fantastic.)
• 6. The final step? ENJOY!!!!!
