Best Slow Cooker Pickle Bread Recipes

SLOW COOKER RYE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Soften yeast in warm water. (Use 2/3 cups if climate is humid. If dry climate up it to 7/8 of a cup.)
• 2. Add vegetable oil, pickle juice, salt, sugar, seeds and mustard.
• 3. Combine instant potato flakes and flours. Slowly add to the wet mixture until you have a firm but slightly sticky dough. (You can use your bread hook on your mixer or do this by hand.) Form it into a nice round ball (adding more flour mixture if too sticky to handle).
• 4. Place a piece of parchment paper in your slow cooker (large enough to come up a bit on the sides) and place your dough ball in the center. Turn your slow cooker on high. Bake the loaf for about an hour and 15 minutes. (Slow cooker heats vary so check it after about an hour. As soon as it sounds hollow when you tap it, it is done.)
• 5. Turn off your slow cooker and carefully remove the bread. Turn on your oven's broiler. Paint the top of the loaf with a bit of egg wash and place it under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until it starts to caramelize. (You don't have to do this step if you don't care that your bread top isn't golden brown. It still tastes fantastic.)
• 6. The final step? ENJOY!!!!!

SLOW COOKER BREAD

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let sit until frothy or foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Mix flour and salt together in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Add yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined and no traces of flour remain. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and stir again; dough should be tacky but not wet.
• Cover container with the lid. Let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set slow cooker to High. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of your slow cooker.
• Dust a clean work surface with flour. Knead dough briefly with floured hands to get rid of any air pockets. Shape into a round or oval loaf depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
• Sprinkle some of the sesame seeds on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining seeds generously all around the loaf. Place dough in the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
• Cook on High for 2 hours. Lift the lid a couple of times during cooking to release the steam. An instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the loaf should read between 200 and 210 degrees F (93 to 99 degrees C). The surface of the bread should be dry and no longer spongy. Remove the loaf and tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
• Remove loaf from the slow cooker. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour.
