Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture.
- Stir the dough until it forms a sticky ball. If it’s too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Grease the Crockpot with a little olive oil. Place the dough into the Crockpot and cover with a clean towel. Let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, set the Crockpot to low and cook for 2-2.5 hours, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the top.
- Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can add herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for added flavor.
- For a crispy crust, you can place the bread under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after baking.
- Be sure to check the bread’s doneness by tapping it – it should sound hollow when fully cooked.
