I often share my recipe of Homemade Bread In An Hour and it's hugely popular because it is so easy. But a recipe that's even easier is my Whole Wheat Bread that I cook right in my Crock Pot. That is what I am sharing today!
This bread is super easy to make and turns out perfect. It has a nice crust and is so soft that it almost melts in your mouth. It's great on its own or you can use it for sandwiches or with some homemade jam.
Cooking Whole Wheat Bread In The Crock Pot
3 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. milk, warmed up a bit
1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. honey
2 pkgs. rapid rise yeast
3 T. olive oil
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 tsp. salt
Line the bottom and sides of your Crock Pot with parchment paper (not wax paper) and turn to high and replace the lid.
In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar and the 2 packages of rapid rise yeast. Let it sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
As the yeast is activating, grab a large bowl and mix together the flours and salt. After the yeast has activated, slowly pour it in. Now stir in the milk, oil, honey and apple cider vinegar. Mix until a dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
After it has rested, on a floured surface knead the dough thoroughly. Knead the dough until it is smooth.
Form into a firm ball and place the dough into the crock pot.
Put the lid on and allow the bread to cook for about 2 hours. You can check it after 1 1/2 hours to see it is done, if not, allow it to cook for the full 2 hours.
If the crust is not crisp enough, just place the bread in your broiler for 2 minutes.
Slice and enjoy!
The bread should make about 10 slices and each slice of bread has 35 grams of carbs.
Sometimes I sprinkle in some rosemary or Italian seasoning into the dough when I add in the flour, etc. It gives the bread a nice flavor and smells delicious!
Darn. I don't have whole wheat flour or I might try this.
