SLOW COOKER HERB BREAD

Slow Cooker Herb Bread image

I'm posting this recipe at the request of a friend. The original is from "Company's Coming Slow Cooker Recipes" with my changes and is for a 3 1/2 quart slow cooker/Crock Pot. I use whole wheat flour for bread or at least half & half, added basil, changed vegetable oil to olive oil and increased the quantities of garlic & onion powders. In the bread mix itself I use brown sugar based on personal preference, I think honey would work too. Adjust spices to your preference. Unfortunately my newer Crock Pot is too big to do this in but it was one of our favourite breads, particularly to go with stews & soups. Easy to prepare, very moist and yummy, it was always a hit in our house :)
