Is anyone making bread in their slow cooker?

OMG.... got my first loaf cooking in the crock at the moment and it smells sooooo good I just want to lift the lid and sniff like there is no tomorrow........ got 1 hour to go... cant wait.

So far it is looking good.

Got my first attempt in the crockpot now :)

mine came out good... took it to mums for lunch.... none left now :(

good excuse to make more.

Dont know waht happened but mine didnt rise :( Will try again!

I was wanting to make a fruit loaf as well, so I googled a recipe for Panettone, and found this one: http://www.food.com/recipe/panettone-48789

I have trialled the above recipe twice, and have found that it needs a little more liquid than the recipe states (or use less flour), and secondly, it needs less cooking time in the crockpot than a more robust wholemeal loaf.

I have just tried this and it is in the crockpot at the moment.Mine is only a 3.5 litre and after only half hour it has risin nearly to the top.Cant wait to taste.

How much is 15gms of dry yeast per teaspoon or tablespoon

Just got my very first ever attempt at making bread (other than failed breadmaker ones!) in the crockpot now - wish me luck!! If this works - wow, the savings we could make!!

I made this bread for the first time today, it worked so well I had to make another one tonight!
I just did plain wholemeal but am looking forward to experimenting with some seeds etc in it.

This is the only bread l make now and l love it and so does everyone who comes here and it is so much easier than the breadmaker one
l put alot of seeds and grains in and it is like a slice of the bread l grew up with as it sticks to your ribs for hours not like the other cardboard stuff

My first slow cooker has just been adopted into my kitchen family and so came on here looking for recipes.This will have to be one of the first things I make! :-)

Made a 1/2 size recipe today, only have a small slow cooker. Wow! Most impressed. I put a piece of baking paper in the base before putting dough in to cook. ( thought it would be just my luck it would stick) and bread just fell out of dish, so easy. Used Surebake as was only yeast I had on hand, rose really well, no sinking at all. Rose about half way up dish, so made a good size loaf.

Had no seeds so just used wheat germ and oat bran. yum Yum.Must have been good, it's the first time hubby has said good things about my homemade bread, he usually makes references to "bricks" ha ha.
Only problem was it didnt last long LOL. Will not bother with shop bread again now, this is so easy and economical and even better i know what is going into it.
Many thanks for the recipie, who would have thought of using the slow cooker to bake bread. Was going to buy a new breadmaker but wont bother now, this cooks in half the time and no hole in the bottom, even better.
Next loaf going on in the morning. Going to try it as a base recipe for a spicy fruit loaf as well.

can you make the recipe in the breadmaker to what stage, then put it in the slow cooker.??

korbo it doesn't take that long to make l come home from the farm in the morning and while doing breakfast l make mine up and put it in the crockpot

l put the yeast in water and put to one side while getting the other things together and then when yeast bubbly l mix together and then l knead it for 10mins and l have the crockpot heating while doing this then chuck in some oil and then put the bread in put the timer on and walk away
l find it easier than the breadmaker
