Crockpot Bread Recipe

I haven’t been this excited to share a recipe in a long time — this Crockpot Bread is that good. It’s incredibly easy to make, deliciously addictive, and I’ve already made it twice this week (with no signs of stopping!).

The loaf comes out soft and fluffy on the inside, with a beautifully crusty top that makes each slice feel bakery-quality. It’s one of those game-changing recipes that feels almost too easy for how impressive it tastes — I can’t wait for you to try it!

I love how versatile slow cooker bread can be. Whether you’re trying this classic loaf, my Slow Cooker Whole Wheat Bread for a heartier option, or even going the tangy route with Sourdough Crockpot Bread, you’re going to be amazed by what your crockpot can do. And if you’re feeling extra adventurous, try your hand at Slow Cooker Bagels — yes, you can make bagels in a crockpot too!

How to Bake Bread in the Crockpot 

Pour warm water into a large bowl. Add sugar and mix until dissolved. Add dry yeast and stir. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy. I always find it helps to sit it in a warm spot.

Add salt to bowl and stir to dissolve. Add vegetable oil. Add flour and mix with hands until everything is combined. Knead the dough for 5 minutes and form into a round ball.

Place dough in olive oil coated bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Sit in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise, doubling in size.  Here’s a before and after so you can see how it rises.

Cut a piece of parchment paper that is the size of your slow cooker bottom and about 2 inches up the side.  It’s important that you go up the sides as your dough will expand (it’s turning into bread!) and you don’t want it to stick to the side of the slow cooker. Additionally, I like to spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.  Place your dough into slow cooker.  I like to sprinkle rosemary on top too.

Cook on HIGH for 2 hours. Remove from slow cooker and brush a little bit of butter on top.

From there you can serve as is, or if you like more of a crusty bread, you can broil the top of the bread.  To do this, slightly butter the top of the bread and stick it in your oven under the broiler (or toaster oven on broil) for about 1 minute.  Watch your bread like a hawk while you broil as it can burn very quickly.  Mine usually takes about 1 minute.   Now look at this crusty top!

I love not only how easy this 2 Hour Slow Cooker Bread but also how it tastes.  It’s soft, moist and delicious!

I’ve really fallen in love with this bread recipe and it will be a weekly staple in my kitchen.   This afternoon Matthew was making lasagna for dinner and requested that I make this bread to go along with it.   Whenever you need some fresh bread, don’t stress out and take hours making it, try this recipe! 

I hope you enjoy my Crockpot bread recipe!

By: Pamela Reed
Prep Time: 45 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours hours
serves 10

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • rosemary optional

Instructions

  • Pour warm water into a large bowl.  Add sugar and mix until dissolved.  Add dry yeast and stir.  Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.  I always find it helps to sit it in a warm spot.
  • Add salt to bowl and stir to dissolve.  Add vegetable oil.
  • Add flour and mix with hands until everything is combined.  Knead the dough for 5 minutes and form into a round ball.
  • Place dough in olive oil coated bowl and cover with plastic wrap.  Sit in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise, doubling in size.
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper and place in bottom of slow cooker.  Make sure the parchment paper comes up the bottom of the sides of the slow cooker so when the bread expands it won’t stick to the sides.  Additionally, I like to spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.
  • Place your dough into slow cooker.  Sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Cook on HIGH for 2 hours.
  • Remove from slow cooker and brush a little bit of butter on top.  Place under broiler for about 1 minute until slightly brown.  Keep a eye on it and make sure it does not burn!  Broiling is not a necessary step but I recommend it to get the top crispy!

    This was the first time I have ever made bread. It was so easy to make and to think it was cooked in a crock pot!. It just blows my mind. I was wondering, is there a reason why you just don’t turn over the bread after the 2 hours and let it brown? Just trying to get out of using the broiler.

    First time I have attempted bread. This recipe is a must try for beginners like me. Followed directions exactly and I couldn’t believe it actually worked for me, as usually SOMETHING will go wrong when I’m attempting a recipe for the first time. I probably could have used less sugar and more salt, but that’s a personal preference. Also used the rosemary and glad I did.
    Under the broiler until my browned preference made the bread so deliciously brown/crispy on top.
    Still can’t believe I made this beautiful loaf that’s sitting my counter!
    Great recipe!

      Hey Christine, to get a browned top check out the final step in the recipe – you’ll want to put it under the broiler for a minute. Hope this helps!

    So, I didn’t take into account the fact that the BOTTOM appeared cooked. I probably overcooked it, negating my previous comment. I did butter and broil it and it created a wonderful crust! It was delicious last night, and I can’t wait to have homemade bread, toasted, for breakfast!

    Great recipe for so little trouble. My large cooker cooks a bit uneven so should’ve turned the loaf at one hour, but no biggie. Next I’m going to try my small cooker which would be easier to take on the road in the RV. We’ll see if it works. Thank you, Farmgirl.

    I am really excited to make this bread, but I only have a 3 quart crock pot and you have used a 6 quart crock pot. So, should I just cut the recipe in half and settle for a smaller loaf of bread? Also, can I use a Crock-Pot liner and if I can, what should I spray it with to grease it? TIA!

    I “baked” this bread today! The recipe was easy to follow! My crockpot cooks unevenly, so I turn the bread mid way. And I only had to leave in for 1.5 hours instead of two. I brushed on butter and broiled…it turned out great!

    What did I do wrong? I added the flour and as I mixed with my hands the dough just stuck to my hands 🙁 I could not get it to come together.

      If the dough is too sticky sounds like you have too much liquid to dry ingredients ratio. You only want to use 1 cup of water for this recipe. Try adding some more flour until you can form a dough ball.
