Diabetic Crockpot Bread Recipe (No Sugar, Only 3 Ingredients!)

Description:
This diabetic-friendly bread recipe is the perfect solution for those looking to enjoy homemade bread without worrying about sugar content. With only three simple ingredients, you can make a loaf of bread that’s soft, fluffy, and incredibly easy to prepare. The crockpot method ensures that the bread is evenly cooked, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to reduce sugar intake while still enjoying the warm comfort of fresh-baked bread.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of flour (whole wheat or almond flour for a healthier option)

  • 1 packet of dry yeast (active dry yeast)

  • 1 cup of warm water (about 110°F)

Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast: Start by combining the warm water and dry yeast in a bowl. Stir well and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the yeast to activate and start bubbling, indicating it’s ready to go.

  2. Prepare the Dough: Once the yeast is ready, add in the flour and stir until the mixture forms a dough. You may need to add more flour, a little at a time, depending on the consistency. The dough should be smooth and easy to handle.

  3. Shape the Dough: Lightly grease the crockpot insert, then shape the dough into a round ball and place it inside. Make sure the dough fits comfortably but isn’t too snug in the crockpot.

  4. Cook the Bread: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it on the low heat setting. Let it cook for 2-3 hours. The bread will rise and form a golden-brown crust on top. You can check for doneness by tapping the top of the bread – it should sound hollow when fully baked.

  5. Let the Bread Cool: Once the bread is done, remove it from the crockpot and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes:

  • Crusty Option: If you prefer a crustier bread, you can place the loaf in a preheated oven under broil for 2-3 minutes after it has been cooked in the crockpot.

  • Flavor Enhancements: Feel free to experiment with adding herbs, garlic, or seeds like sesame or sunflower to give your bread a unique twist.

Tips:

  • Make sure your water temperature is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it could kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising.

  • This recipe makes a great base for sandwiches or can be enjoyed on its own with a spread of butter.

Servings:
This recipe yields about 6-8 slices of bread, depending on how thick you slice it.
