If you want to bake some homemade bread but don't have the patience for it to sit and rise, look no further than this rosemary parmesan bread that rises and bakes right in the Crock-Pot! The baking bread will fill your kitchen (and probably your entire house) with the smell of a freshly baked loaf and piney rosemary. And since you don't have to wait for the dough to rise before you bake it, you get to munch on fresh bread in a fraction of the time.
Make sure you bloom your yeast for 10 minutes before mixing in all of the other ingredients. This will help ensure the yeast is alive and active for the bread to rise.
The addition of rosemary and parmesan really helps to enhance the flavor of the bread. You can get creative and make your own combinations of ingredients with the base recipe, too!
Lining your Crock-Pot with parchment paper will ensure the raw bread dough doesn't stick and makes it easy to lift out of the hot pot when it's done.
The bread will come out of the Crock-Pot with a pale top, so pop it onto a sheet tray and put it under the broiler for a few minutes to brown and crisp up the top.
Once broiled, try to wait about 20 minutes before slicing it and enjoying!
