Bread in the crockpot

This is a really neat recipe and as easy as it is delicious.

I have learned to line the crockpot with greased wax paper to keep it from sticking.

I use whole wheat flour because I love the taste, and it is so much better for you.

If you overcook it, it will get dry.  I think it depends on how hot your crockpot cooks.  Mine does well with 2 and a half hours.

INGREDIENTS:


1 envelope (.25 ounce) of active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup warm water
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup lukewarm water
1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 to 4 cups flour

DIRECTIONS:

In a bowl combine yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water. Allow yeast to foam, about 5 minutes.

Add egg, oil, lukewarm water, salt, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 cups of flour. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes on low.

With a wooden spoon, stir in remaining flour.

Place dough in greased 4-5 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours. Remove stoneware from cooker and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
