Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Optional grated Parmesan
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, sugar, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and dried parsley. If using Parmesan, stir it in as well.
Gradually mix in the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.
Lightly grease the inside of the crock pot with olive oil or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in the center of the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to the 'Low' setting. Cook the bread for about 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, checking for doneness. The loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
For a golden, crusty finish, transfer the bread to a baking sheet and broil on high for 2-3 minutes in an oven after removing it from the crock pot. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Allow the bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite butter or spreads!
