Bread Slow Cooker Recipe. Must admit I’m quite impressed… and it tasted delicious,….warm, with butter and a chunk of mature cheddar…
Ingredients:
500g Strong whole meal or Strong white Flour.
plus extra for dusting. ( i used strong white flour.)
7g sachet Fast-Action dried yeast.
1g fine sea salt ( i used normal salt)
350ml warm water.
Method:
Mix Flour, yeast and salt in a bowl, pour most of the 350ml of warm water & mix with hands until combined into a slightly wet, pillowy, workable dough, Add a splash or 2 of extra warm water if needed. ( I found i didn’t need any extra water).
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for at least 10 minutes until smooth or elastic.
shape dough into a tight ball and place on a large square of baking parchment ( I also lined the inside of slow cooker with the parchment) place dough into slow cooker , cover and cook on high for 2 hours ( i placed a tea towel under the lid to capture the moisture).
Lift bread out, the bottom should be crusty and the top springy ,not soft If it isn’t ready pop back in slow cooker for 15 minutes…. it can take up to 2 hours 30 minutes.
( If you have a digital thermometer the middle should be 90degrees.. i haven’t so didn’t use one..
I then brushed the top lightly with a beaten egg and put in oven at 200c for 10 mins to give the top a light browning.
The top won’t be as crusty as the bottom, but it was still nice..
