5-stars for the excellent idea! Quick and easy to prepare and bake. The mixture was more the consistency of a batter than a dough, so I poured it into the loaf pan (I have an rectangular crockpot). It rose well (in fact the baked loaf lapped over the sides a bit). 3-4 stars for its texture & taste: It's texture was not as fine as 2-rise dough breads - more like a peasant bread. Flavor was good but rustic tasting. I think reducing the flour and liquid quantities a little, leaving the other ingredients the same, would make loaf more rich and have it fit into a large loaf pan without running over the edges. I'm going to experiment with other bread recipes using this crockpot technique. Thanks for the idea, Tish. -
Easy and tasty! The directions didn't state how exactly to cover the pan with foil. I tented the foil and sealed it around the edges of the bread loaf pan. It seemed to work well, but it would have raised even more had I left it more room. Anyone else cover it differently? I was thinking I could get creative with the foil, such as make the top of the loaf into a heart for Valentine's Day or something...very good bread. could use a little more flavor though.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
