I found this recipe on one of my favorite sites, and thought it could be fun.
I’ve made it a couple times, and like that i can have bread without turning on the oven.
I don’t like that my 6 quart crockpot leaves the middle undone even after double or triple the time.
I like that i can add additional flavors, like italian seasoning.

- 1 teaspoon quick rise instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 and 1/2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/8 cup cornmeal to prevent sticking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, garlic salt, and Parmesan cheese.
- Measure the water, then add the minced garlic into the water.
- Add the water into the flour mixture and combine until all the flour has been incorporated. (Note: the dough will be very sticky)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow to sit for 1 and 1/2 hours.
- On a large piece of parchment paper, sprinkle the cornmeal (or flour), the dump the dough onto the paper.
- Form the dough into a round , sprinkle with some additional cornmeal, then cover with plastic wrap.
- Allow to sit for 1/2 hour.
- Preheat the slow cooker for about 5 minutes on high, then remove the plastic wrap, pick up the parchment paper with the dough on it, and place it in the slow cooker.
- Tuck or trim the edges of the parchment paper if necessary to fit under the lid.
- Place a layer of paper towels over the slow cooker, then place the lid on top of the towels.
- Cook on high for 2-4 hours, then remove from the slow cooker.
- If more of a brown crust is desired, bake at 400 degrees in the oven for 15-20 minutes (optional).
- Cool on a rack before serving.
Verdict:
Not bad in a pinch, but you have to toast it to get it completely done.
Next time i’ll try it in the 4qt, see if thicker works better….
If you try this let me know what you think!
