Easy to make 2 HOUR Crockpot Bread recipe. Throw it in the crock pot and you will have soft homemade bread in 2 hours! This is the best bread to serve with creamy soups and casseroles. 

I have not been this excited about sharing a recipe in quite some time.  This Crockpot Bread is easy to make, it’s delicious and I’m so addicted I made it 2 times this week already! The bread is soft, moist and is perfect for dipping in a big bowl of creamy tomato soup or cheeseburger soup!

What is Crockpot Bread?

Crockpot Bread is homemade bread made in your crockpot.  This loaf of bread is soft on the inside, with a crusty top.  I love it because it’s easy to make and tastes delicious.  Here’s a quick video I made to show you how simple it is to make. 

Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make this homemade bread. You probably already have everything in your pantry!

  1. warm water
  2. sugar
  3. active dry yeast
  4. salt
  5. vegetable oil
  6. all purpose flour
  7. rosemary (optional, but I love it!)

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!

Easy to make 2 HOUR Crockpot Bread recipe. Throw it in the crock pot and you will have soft homemade bread in 2 hours! This is the best bread to serve with creamy soups and casseroles. 
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 2 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!

      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!

    Made this with wholemeal flour turned out soft but crumbly, did I do something wrong ..followed the recipe..it didn’t rise as much as should as I noticed my yeast was 6 months out of date , but, it was very tasty and will make it again. Thankyou for the recipe.

      I have not made this with 100% bread flour, but I have mixed all purpose + bread flour and it turned out perfectly – so I think it could work!

    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.

    Baked up a loaf this July 2020. It’s so humid in Michigan this time of year. Wonderful to have fresh bread without heating up the kitchen by using the oven. Fun activity for this quarantine time.

    just an FYI to everyone, I’ve made the standard bread and sourdough (which is big hit with everyone) and used coconut oil in lieu of the veg oil. Also, using “instant” yeast as opposed to “active dry yeast” (that’s what happens when you send a non-baker out to get ingredients) I find the dough rises substantially more and you end up with a much larger loaf. My crockpot runs hot and all loaves have a burnt sides….ugh. Next loaf I will try a loaf pan in the crockpot and see if that helps. Happy baking everyone

    I’m excited to try your sourdough crockpot bread as well as your 2 Hr. bread. I am a beginner at making bread so I need to clarify do you cover the crockpot with the lid when it cooks or do you leave it uncovered? I looked at those two recipes and it just said to cook it on high but it didn’t mention whether it was to be covered or not. I’m afraid if I cover it that it will sweat. Please let me know thank you so much God bless you!

      I will not use Canola oil, so I hope it works with coconut oil. Thanks!
