Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F or 45°C)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- First Rise:
- Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Prepare the Crockpot:
- Line the bottom of the crockpot with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Second Rise:
- Punch down the dough, shape it into a round loaf, and place it in the crockpot.
- Cover the crockpot with a towel or the lid (leaving a small gap for ventilation). Let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
- Cook the Bread:
- Turn the crockpot to high heat and cook for 2-2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 190°F (88°C).
- Optional Browning:
- If you prefer a golden crust, transfer the bread to an oven-safe dish and broil it for 2-3 minutes.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a crustier texture, you can add a little steam to the oven while broiling.
- This bread works well with whole wheat flour or bread flour as substitutes.
- Add herbs, cheese, or seeds for extra flavor.
