Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Line a 6-quart (or similar size) slow cooker with parchment paper, coating up to rim. Set aside.

  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, add water. Heat in microwave in 15 second intervals until water reaches 105-115°F. Do not exceed 120°F.

  3. Add yeast and sugar to bowl and stir. Allow yeast to bloom for 10 minutes.

  4. In a new large bowl, add flour, oil, honey, and salt. Pour in yeast mixture, then stir until combined.

  5. Transfer dough to a floured surface. Generously flour your hands and knead dough for about 5 minutes, but be careful: how much you knead dough at this stage will impact density of bread. Less kneading will give a lighter, more airy bread; kneading more will create a dense loaf (like pictured). When finished, smooth dough into a round shape.

  6. Transfer dough ball to prepared slow cooker.
