Ingredients

For the Bread:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional Toppings:

Fresh or dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano)

Seeds (sesame, poppy, sunflower)

Grated cheese

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and yeast.

  • Add liquids: Pour in warm water and olive oil, stirring to form a shaggy dough.

  • Knead the dough: Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

  • Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and allow it to rise for 1–1.5 hours until it doubles in size.

  • Prepare the crockpot: Line the crockpot with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking oil.

  • Shape the dough: Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the crockpot. Add any optional toppings, like herbs, cheese, or seeds.

  • Cook: Set the crockpot on HIGH and cook for 2–2.5 hours until the bread is golden and firm.

  • Crisp the crust (optional): For a crispy crust, place the bread under the broiler for 2–3 minutes after cooking.

  • Cool and serve: Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Cheese Bread: Add grated cheese on top for a cheesy crust.

Herb Infused: Add rosemary, thyme, or oregano for extra flavor.
