Baker's Corner-Herbed Crockpot Bread

Preparing to make this bread.
Yes, you read that right! Herbed Crock Pot Bread. I probably thought the same thing that you are thinking right now. You can make bread in the crockpot?!? Where the heck has this been all my life! So I decided that I would try this recipe and I'll let a link to where I found the recipe at the bottom along with the recipe itself. I want to give credit where credit is due.

So anyways I was pretty stoked to find a recipe that I could make bread in the crockpot. I want to go ahead and make note that all crockpots are different and not all of them cook at the same temperature. So while the times in this may work for you they did not work for me.

The recipe is simple to do and fairly quick in the process if you have all of the ingredients on hand. I thought I had all the ingredients on hand only to discover I did not so a quick trip to the Dollar General was in order. Sadly they did not have the items I needed so I made a quick trip next door to the Dollar General to the Piggly Wiggle. I got the few things I needed and headed out the door with my purchases. Great right!

I came home and started work on the bread. Of course, bread requires five minutes for the yeast when you use it. So I managed to start up another recipe that I'll be sharing later this evening that I found. So I get this dough started and I have to work the best I can as I do not have a mixer with a dough hook.

Like I said the recipe is fairly easy to do and does not take a lot of time. However, for me, my crockpot cooks at a different temperature than the original poster's crockpot. I had to leave my bread in much longer than was said to. So the original post for the recipe came from livingsweetmoments.com (https://livingsweetmoments.com/herbed-crock-pot-bread-recipe/) and the original post was made for September 20, 2016.

The mixture for me was a little sticky so it was hard to make the dough into the ball that she says to make it into. I probably could have added just a touch more flour to it to get the right consistency but I was going word for word of the recipe. The recipe is a wonderful one and I do recommend it. There were a few things that I had to differently as I do not have packets of yeast. I have good containers of it. I prefer it to packets as I can get more use out of it cheaply. However whenever you see 1 packet of instant yeast that is 2 1/4 teaspoons. I will be copying down the recipe here as well. I would hate for the website to suddenly disappear and the recipe along with it.

Mine did take a bit longer to cook in this one but still came out great.
Recipe: Herbed Crock Pot Bread

Prep Time     Cook Time                Total Time
10 mins           1 hr 15 mins            1 hr 25 mins

Again I would like to point out that each crock pot cooks differently so times may vary. Mine had to cook for nearly two hours.

This soft Crock Pot Bread Recipe is super easy to make and does not require any rising time. Perfect for toast, sandwiches, a side for dinner and more.

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour more may be needed
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 packet instant yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary (any herb)
Instructions
  1. In the mixer using the dough hook, place the warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and the yeast. Mix lightly and cover for 5 minutes for yeast to activate.
  2. When the mixture starts to bubble add the rest of the ingredients.
  3. Mix on medium speed for 5-6 minutes or until dough becomes soft and elastic.
  4. Shape into a loaf and sprinkle salt on top (optional if you like a salty taste).
  5. Line slow cooker with parchment paper.
  6. Place dough inside and cover.
  7. Cook on HIGH for 1 hour to 1 and a half hours.
  8. Check the bottom to see if the bread is completely cooked (bottom should be browned).
  9. Place the loaf of bread under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to brown (optional).
  10. Enjoy!
The loaf I made came out good still and I plan on making it again. It was delish and I used basil instead of thyme or rosemary as that was what I had on hand. I saw several people in her comments talking about adding cheese or even garlic to it and that is a plan I will be doing in the future for sure.

All About Illuminae - Book Review

Star Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Synopsis: This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival mega corporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak...

Tempers, Tantrums, & Electronics Oh My

So we are just going to jump right into this. We have several game systems in my house. I mean several. Two of which are actually in my bedroom and my children. My loving children have decided that if I am in the living room they are going to go into my room and turn on the Xbox One and start playing games on it. They know that this is a major no in our house. Especially since Short Round decided to purchase a texture pack for Minecraft without permission recently. We now have supervised game time when mommy allows it. There are a few rules for this that we are going to be going by so they can get that supervised gaming time. And even then they are only going to be getting an hour of gaming. The reason that I deviated from the post that I was actually working on is that my children decided to do just this. They realized that I did not hit the surge protector that all of my gaming equipment is connected to. So they decided that they were going to go into my room and turn on my system....
