If you are looking to make an easy Basic Bread, you will want to give this Slow Cooker Basic Bread Recipe. I will admit this was one of my hubbies creations and not my own, ha ha! Years ago when my daughter was entering her teens she loved to bake bread with her dad. It was always just a basic bread but she loved showing it off and sharing it with the whole family (even the dog). We all really liked it fresh out of the oven when its warm. We would lather the bread up with butter, jam, you name it, we would put it on her bread an enjoy. We never would forget to tell her how tasty it was as it really encouraged her to keep making us more.

As the teen years set in, she decided she was too busy (or maybe lazy, ha ha) to make all of us bread. We have all have been bugging her for so long to bake us some of her basic bread recipe. I have just given up asking her, lol. This past week when hunting for yummy dishes to make in my new slow cookers the hubby decided he was going to make me some Slow Cooker Bread. I will admit I was a bit skeptical about bread in the slow cooker but figure I would let him give it a try. I was amazed at how quickly he had this one made and how well it turned out. The only issue he encountered was a bit of a hot spot on the backside (I think he didn’t even pay close attention that he actually made this in my old slow cooker, ha ha).
