Easy Slow Cooker Olive Parmesan Bread – No kneading required! You have to try this delicious and super-easy way to prepare fresh-baked bread!

What’s better than fresh-baked bread on your dinner table? Nothing! EXCEPT maybe fresh-baked bread that was super-easy to make and required NO KNEADING at all!

I admit it – I don’t have the patience to bake my own bread. All the kneading, and the rising, and the fuss…I just don’t have that kind of time or energy. So when someone told me that it was possible to bake bread without any kneading, and using a slow cooker, I was absolutely interested!

The basic technique is to combine the flour with quick-rising yeast and water,  let it rest, form it into a round and let it rest again, then place it in the slow cooker on high. Believe it or not, you can make really good bread that way! And you can add all sorts of mix-ins for interesting combinations. For this loaf, I chose Kalamata olives and Parmesan cheese. So yummy!

I love the texture of bread that this technique yields. It is a little denser than bread made in a more traditional way, but it is not heavy or overly chewy and it is way better than store-bought! Another advantage to this technique is that it leaves your oven free for other things, which is perfect for holiday meals when you have lots of other things that need time in the oven. So give it a try and see what you think!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast quick rise
  • ½ tablespoon garlic minced
  • ⅔ cup Kalamata olives diced
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1.5 cup water
  • cornmeal or additional flour to prevent sticking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and instant yeast.
  2. Add the garlic, olives, and Parmesan cheese and mix.
  3. Add water and stir until all of the flour mixture has been incorporated (dough will be very sticky).
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 1 and ½ hours.
  5. On a large piece of parchment paper, sprinkle flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking. Remove the dough from the bowl and place on the parchment paper, then mold into a round and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to sit for ½ hour.
  6. Heat the slow cooker to high, then pick up the parchment paper and use it to transfer to the slow cooker. Lower the parchment paper into the slow cooker and tuck or cut to fit under the lid.
  7. Place paper towels on top of the slow cooker, then place the lid over the towels.
  8. Cook on high for 2 hours, then remove.
  9. If more of a brown crust is desired, bake at 400 degrees in the oven for 15-20 minutes (optional).
  10. Cool on a rack before serving.

    Yum yum YUM! I want to try this for sure! Our slow cooker is a large oval, so I think it would turn out really nicely too! I love to make cakes in my rice cooker and now I find out I can make bread in my slow cooker? So cooooool!

    Hi Kristin. I don’t think I saw mentioned about the shape of the slow cooker. Would an oval shape work okay? I’m anxious to try this out. I have arthritis in my hands, so not having to knead the bread is a great feature of this recipe! Thanks.

        Would a double batch for into a standard oval crock pot? Feeding a crowd this weekend and I don’t think 1 will be enough!

        I am not sure, Monique, sorry! I have not ever made a double batch. It doesn’t expand a lot as it cooks, so if the dough fits, then the bread will fit. However, I am not sure how the cooking time would be affected, so just be careful with that. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope the bread turns out amazing for you! 🙂
