Slow Cooker Tomato Paprika Bread

Have you baked bread in your slow cooker before? I find you can get a really good crust so I use my slow cooker for bread quite often. It is great to be able to make soup in one slow cooker and a loaf of homemade bread to serve with it in another! This slow cooker tomato paprika bread is brilliant served with veggie soup or alongside a big bowl of chilli or stew too, so it is really versatile.

No oven was used in the making of this bread! Yes that’s right, the tasty crust you can see here was just from the slow cooker. How is this possible? Well a tea towel under the lid stops water dripping onto the loaf and means it stays pretty dry inside your pot. If the top seems a bit wet and sot you can turn over the loaf and the contact with the base of the lined slow cooker pot will brown it off. For this loaf I only turned it over for the last ten minutes.

This slow cooker tomato paprika bread is a no-rise and no-yeast bread, it is so easy to make. I used Greek yoghurt in this bread, and chose 0% fat Greek yoghurt too as this has zero points on WeightWatchers Flex/Freestyle. So it is healthy too! Simply make your dough and pop it in the lined slow cooker pot. I used a couple of pieces of baking paper, both folded. Cook on high for a couple of hours and the loaf below will greet you when you lift the lid! I loved the artisanal rustic look of this loaf. Nearly as pretty as a sourdough loaf but a lot less hassle to make!

As I chose tomato and smoked paprika flavours for this loaf, it has a lovely reddish tinge. The flavours go so well with a spicy soup or a pot of chilli or just buttered with salads and cheese, however you prefer it really.
