Calories: 175kcal
Ingredients
- 400 g strong white bread flour
- 7 g dried active yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 250 ml warm water (38–40°C / 100–104°F)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Switch the slow cooker to low to preheat.
- Mix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the centre and slowly add the warm water and olive oil, stirring as you go.
- Combine into a ball with your hands (rub a little oil on your hands first to prevent sticking).
- Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is still sticky.
- Line the slow cooker with greaseproof paper and place the dough inside.
- Place a folded tea towel under the lid to absorb steam, then put the lid on top. Cook on low for 15 minutes, then switch to high for 2 hours.
- Check at the 90-minute mark. The bread is ready when it feels firm and sounds hollow when tapped.
- For a crispier crust, place under a hot grill for 5 minutes.
- Leave to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
