 Prep & Cook Time

  • Prep time: 10 minutes

  • Rise time: 45–60 minutes

  • Cook time: 2–2½ hours

  • Total time: About 3½ hours

 Servings

  • Makes: 1 small round loaf

  • Servings: 8 slices

Ingredients (3 Ingredients)

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour (or white whole wheat flour)

  • 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Plus:

  • 1 to 1¼ cups warm water (water is not counted as an ingredient)

 Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients
    In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt.

  2. Add water
    Slowly add warm water and mix until a soft dough forms.

  3. Knead lightly
    Knead for 5–7 minutes by hand until smooth and elastic.

  4. First rise
    Cover bowl and let dough rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, until doubled in size.

  5. Prepare crockpot
    Line the crockpot with parchment paper or lightly oil it.

  6. Cook
    Shape dough into a ball and place in crockpot.
    Cook on HIGH for 2–2½ hours, until bread is firm and cooked through.

  7. Optional browning
    For a darker top, place under a broiler for 3–5 minutes.

  8. Cool
    Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Yeast does not require sugar to activate; flour provides natural carbohydrates.

  • Bread will be lighter if allowed a full rise.

  • Texture is soft like sandwich bread, not crusty artisan bread.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use warm, not hot water (about 105–110°F / 40–43°C)

  • Do not lift the crockpot lid during cooking

  • Let bread cool before slicing to prevent crumbling

  • For extra softness, wrap bread in a towel while cooling
