Forget that it makes my blood sugar skyrocket. The real problem is that I want to make it. It does not want to be made by me. Every (yeast) bread I make falls flat. Literally. They never rise!
Maybe I should take it as a sign. Maybe it's the universe trying to tell me something. Maybe it's because Jerry didn't let me pick that used breadmaker up off the sidewalk that would have forever changed my bread-making ability. I just have not been able to make a good, solid yeast bread that we could use for everyday sandwiches instead of breadcrumbs (since my breads are usually a messy crumble).
Until now....
Breadmaker, schreadmaker. I've gots my crockpot, yo! Yes, my crockpot. It has helped me produce some damn good bread without even turning on my oven!
And Jerry wanted to get a breadmaker. Pssssh.

Keywords: slow-cooker bread
Ingredients (1 loaf)
- 1 c warm milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 package active dry yeast
- 1 tsp vital wheat gluten (optional)

Instructions
1. Grease a loaf pan or other baking pan that will fit inside your crock-pot.
