from: EazyPeazyMealz.com Artisan Crock Pot Bread
A few things to note: Make sure your yeast foams or it won’t work. A quality flour will result in a quality bread. My favorite is You want to get the dough in the center of the crock pot or you will get parts that are browned more than others. Use the paper towels, and lay them across the top to catch steam or it might get too soggy. Top with butter, jam, or honey for even better flavor! Yields 1 7 minPrep Time 1 hr, 45 Cook Time 1 hr, 52 Total Time Ingredients 1 TBS yeast 1 TBS honey 1 cup warm water 2 3/4 cup all-purpose white flour 1 TBS white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 Tbs olive oil Other Parchment paper 3 paper towels Instructions Mix together warm (not hot) water, yeast, and honey, and let sit for a minute for yeast to foam Stir together flour, sugar, salt, and then mix with yeast mixture and olive oil Stir together with a wooden spoon Knead for 5 minutes, either by hand or with a stand mixer and hook attachment Line a crock pot with parchment and place ball of dough in center Put paper towels over the top, and put the lid, very slightly ajar over that, this will help absorb some of the moisture so the top of your bread is not mushy and wet while the bottom is crispy and hard. Cook on high for an hour and a half, or until bottom is browned (You can just lift it out with the parchment to check how brown the bottom is) Remove from crock pot, put on a baking tray, and into a preheated oven set to broil on high. Broil 2-3 minutes or until you reach the desired golden brown. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
