Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.25 cups warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Step 3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Shape the dough into a round ball and place it on a sheet of parchment paper that fits your slow cooker.
Step 5
Carefully lift the parchment paper with the dough and place it into the bottom of the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
Step 6
Set the slow cooker to the HIGH setting and let the bread cook for 1.5 to 2 hours. Check the bread after 1.5 hours by tapping the top — it should sound hollow when fully cooked.
Step 7
Once done, carefully remove the bread using the parchment paper and transfer it to a cooling rack.
Step 8
Brush the top of the warm bread with melted unsalted butter for extra flavor and a soft crust. Allow the bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
