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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Gradually mix in the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Lightly grease the inside of the crock pot with olive oil or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in the center of the crock pot.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite butter or spreads!
