Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Warm Water
  • ⅓ Cup Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Instant Yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • ¾ Cup Greek Yogurt plain
  • 1½ teaspoons Salt
  • 3¼ Cups All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

  • Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a medium bowl. Let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add vegetable oil and Greek yogurt once the yeast mixture blooms. Stir.
  • Combine the salt and flour in a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture.
  • Use your hands to get the dough incorporated.
  • Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Set it in a warm area to rise for 45 minutes.
  • As soon as the dough has doubled in size it is ready to cook in the slow cooker.
  • Line the slow cooker with parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough into a loaf shape and place in the slow cooker. You can also use your hands to shape it into a rectangle and fold each long side in and roll it into a ball (like traditional sourdough).
  • If you prefer, you can score the top. It will not keep the design but it will give it more of a sourdough look.
  • Place the loaf in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, let the loaf cool and then slice.
