How to Make a Crock Pot Loaf of Bread Recipe

Want to know how to make easy bread in your slow cooker or crockpot? 

Do you have a fancy bread machine stored in a closet or taking up space in a cabinet? Simplify by making a crockpot loaf of bread with this easy, tried and true recipe for slow cookers that we found a Busy Mom's Menu Plan. I've been dying to try one, but just reading most recipes takes 20 minutes! We made this on a Sunday. It's a relaxing activity to do with kids and you can teach about the science of yeast. Enjoy!

Crock Pot Loaf of Bread Recipe

  • Make an easy bread dough like this one from Busy Mom's Menu Plan.
  • Let rise for 1 hour.
  • Spray crock pot with non-stick spray.
  • Place bread dough in pot. Put lid on the crock pot.
  • Cook on low for 1 1/2 hours.  
  • Bread is ready when the crust is golden brown 
  • Slice open the top and add butter.
  • Serve with jams, jellies, or your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread.
Tip: Make sure your yeast is not too old. Our bread didn't rise much. Our yeast had been in the cabinet for years.
