How to make bread in a crock pot

1. You start by mixing up active dry yeast with warm water and a little bit of sugar. It’s important to use warm (105°F – 110ºF) but not piping hot water when activating your dry yeast.
2. Let it sit for 15 minutes in a warm spot, until foamy.
3. Next, mix in salt and olive oil and whisk.
4. Stir in the flour and continue to mix until a shaggy loaf is formed (not super smooth, still lumpy).
5. Pour the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. You can also knead it with a dough hook in a stand mixer. 
6. Coat a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough inside the bowl and turn it over so it is coated in olive oil.
7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it in a warm area to rise for 45 minutes. 
8. The dough is done rising when it’s doubled in size.
9. Line your crock pot with two sheets of parchment paper.
10. Coat the parchment paper with cooking spray. 
11. Carefully place the dough in the crockpot and brush olive oil on top.
12. Sprinkle rosemary on top of the bread.
13. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours.
14. Remove bread from slow cooker and brown under the broiler of your oven for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
15. Let fully cool before slicing.
16. Serve and enjoy!
