Ingredients:
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 12 oz sparkling water or club soda
Instructions:
1. Prepare the dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and sparkling water (or club soda) until just combined. It’s okay if the dough is a little lumpy—avoid overmixing, as it can affect the texture.
2. Prepare the slow cooker:
- Grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or butter to prevent the bread from sticking.
3. Shape the dough:
- Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into a rough ball. Place the dough into the greased slow cooker.
4. Cook the bread:
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on the low setting for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the bread has cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Finish the bread (optional for crusty top):
- If you want a more golden, crusty top, you can remove the bread from the slow cooker, place it on a baking sheet, and broil it in the oven for about 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
6. Cool and serve:
- Once the bread is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This Slow Cooker Bread is incredibly easy to make and perfect for when you want fresh bread without heating up your kitchen! You can enjoy it with butter, as a side to soups, or as a base for sandwiches. Enjoy! 🍞😋
