EXCEPT maybe fresh-baked bread that was super-easy to make and required NO KNEADING at all!So when someone told me that it was possible to bake bread&nbsp;without any kneading, and using a&nbsp;slow cooker, I was absolutely interested!The basic technique for slow cooker bread is to combine the flour with quick-rising yeast and water, &nbsp;let it rest, form it into a round and let it rest again, then place it in the&nbsp;slow cooker&nbsp;on high.Believe it or not, you can make really good bread that way! And you can add all sorts of mix-ins for interesting combinations. For this loaf, I chose Kalamata olives and Parmesan cheese. So yummy!I love the texture of bread that this technique yields. It is a little denser&nbsp;than bread made in a more traditional way, but it is not heavy or overly chewy&nbsp;and it is way better than store-bought!For a complete list of ingredients for this olive bread recipe, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.Please note: This is an overview of the instructions. You'll find the complete instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.Combine the flour and yeast in a large bowl. Add the garlic, chopped olives, and Parmesan cheese and combine.Add the water and combine with the flour mixture. Cover the bowl and allow to sit for 1 and ½ hours.On a large piece of parchment paper, sprinkle flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.Remove the dough from the bowl and place on the parchment, mold into a round and cover again. Allow to rest for ½ hour.Heat the slow cooker to high. Carefully then pick up the parchment paper and transfer the loaf to the slow cooker. Place paper towels on top of the slow cooker, and the lid over the towels.Cook on high for 2 hours. Cool on a rack before slicing.What is the best way to keep bread fresh? Keep it wrapped in a paper bag but cover the cut end with plastic wrap. Don't refrigerate slow cooker bread, it will actually dry out the bread more. Store it in a bread box or on the countertop. Can you freeze olive bread? Yes, this freezes well. Be sure to allow it to cool and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze up to three weeks. Does a breadbox keep bread fresh longer? It does!
