This Easy Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Bread is crusty, flavorful, fresh, and best of all, EASY! Don’t you love delicious, fresh-baked bread recipes with just a few ingredients and no kneading?
There’s nothing I like better than a thick slice of warm, fresh-baked bread, with a slightly melting pat of butter slathered all over it. YUM. Yes, I’m drooling a little bit right now!
The problem is that I used to hardly ever get to enjoy homemade bread right out of the oven. I mean, who has the time? Or the energy? Well, I’m sure some people have the time and the energy. But not this mom. 🙂
That is, until I figured out how to use my slow cooker to bake bread. And, *BONUS*, these instructions require absolutely no kneading!
Everyone in the family loves this bread! And it disappears quite quickly too. Most of the time I can’t count on any significant amount of it lasting to the next day. I need to get another crock pot so I can make two loaves at once!

Easy Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Bread
Print RecipeIngredients
- 3 cups bread flour (you can substitute regular white flour in a pinch)
- 1 teaspoon quick rise instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 and 1/2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (short cut- use jarred minced garlic)
- 1/8 cup cornmeal to prevent sticking (you can substitute flour if you don't have cornmeal)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, garlic salt, and Parmesan cheese.
- Measure the water, then add the minced garlic into the water.
- Add the water into the flour mixture and combine until all the flour has been incorporated. (Note: the dough will be very sticky)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow to sit for 1 and 1/2 hours.
- On a large piece of parchment paper, sprinkle the cornmeal (or flour), the dump the dough onto the paper. Form the dough into a round , sprinkle with some additional cornmeal, then cover with plastic wrap. Allow to sit for 1/2 hour.
- Preheat the slow cooker for about 5 minutes on high, then remove the plastic wrap, pick up the parchment paper with the dough on it, and place it in the slow cooker. Tuck or trim the edges of the parchment paper if necessary to fit under the lid.
- Place a layer of paper towels over the slow cooker, then place the lid on top of the towels.
- Cook on high for 2 hours, then remove from the slow cooker.
- If more of a brown crust is desired, bake at 400 degrees in the oven for 15-20 minutes (optional).
- Cool on a rack before serving.

Since we have to eat low-sodium, will it work if I used 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder instead of 1 teaspoon of garlic salt?
Kristin
Yes, it will work! You may find that it tastes a little bland, but the bread will turn out just fine. 🙂

There are so many things I never realized can be made in a crock pot… Amazes me every time to learn about breads in one! Looks great, and garlic parm is a great combination there. Thanks for sharing with the fine folk at Fiesta Friday!

I love this! I’ve never seen bread made in a crockpot! I was recently telling my daughter I needed an easy bread recipe, so I will be trying this! I have celiac, so am gluten free, and bread is very expensive. Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things!
