Helpful Cooking Tips
- Avoid opening the slow cooker lid during baking to keep the heat steady.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from becoming gummy.
Step 1
Warm the water in the microwave for about 45 seconds until it feels warm but not hot. Stir in the honey, oil, milk powder, salt, and yeast until everything is combined. Pour this mixture into the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
Step 2
Add the flour one cup at a time, mixing on low speed just until it comes together. Then turn the mixer up a bit and let it knead until you get a soft, smooth dough, adding a little more flour if it feels too sticky.
Step 3
Lightly flour your countertop and turn the dough out onto it. Knead it into a nice ball, then spread some oats on the surface and roll the dough around to coat it evenly.
Step 4
Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper that will fit inside your slow cooker. Set the dough and paper into the slow cooker, cover it, and cook on high for about an hour and a half until the bread is fully baked through.
