Serving: 3
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours 45 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 55 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 60g Melted Butter
  • 2 Cups of Self-Raising Flour (Sifted)
  • 1 Cup of Milk
  • Small sprinkle of Italian Herbs (Optional)
  • A pinch of Salt
  • Diced Bacon and Grated Cheese (As much as you would like and save some for the topping).

Instructions
 

  • Melt the Butter and then mix everything else in the bowl until combined.
  • It should form a sticky dough.
  • Next sprinkle some flour onto the bench or a board to knead the dough.
  • Keep doing this until it is no longer sticky and feels like a springy elastic dough.
  • Once that is done, form it into whatever shape you want Eg. Bread Roll Balls or just a Bread Loaf like I have done 🙂
  • Once dough is formed, add the rest of the Cheese and Bacon on the top.
  • Line the Slow Cooker with Baking Paper (I used 2 sheets) and put your bread dough in.
  • Cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 hours (Although this one I cooked took 3 hours 20minutes, as every slow cooker is different) BUT, keep checking it after the 2 hour mark to see if it is going okay! 🙂
  • Also DO NOT FORGET to put a Tea Towel under the lid and fold over the top to stop any water dripping onto the bread 🙂 🙂
  • Once cooked, take out of slow cooker and cool down a little and put melted butter on 😀 YUM!

    Quite doughy and a little bland. Will up the dried herbs next time! Watch your slow cooker, I left mine in for 2 hours and was quite burnt! My fault, will check regularly next time 🙂

  2. might try it without the italian seasoning next time tasted a little doughy but dough is not my strong point thats why i have a bread maker to do it but will try again other that with a little butter it was ok hubby will like it

  3. Very simple to make and so yummy, personally I would cook on high for 2 hours and low for the rest as my slow cooker cools hotter then others. Other then that I highly recommend this recipe, it makes a great side dish for lasagna etc or school lunches

  4. I have made this twice and used ham instead of bacon a d we really enjoyed as a lunchtime snack, it took 2 hrs .

  5. So yummo, great for snacks. I made the first batch & was so nice I made a second one & spread some tomato sauce on the top before adding the top layer of bacon & cheese…….Yummo

  6. I loved this bread.
    Yes it is a little dense but it’s an easy recipe that yields a blooming delicious savory loaf. It’s great with some butter and a cup of soap. I’d 100% make this again with different flavour combinations.

    I actually made this today after searching on the group page but the typed out recipe didn’t mention about kneading lol ? so needless to say I didn’t knead it n i was supposed to but didn’t think I had to til I found the actual link but it still turned out amazing ??? so I will be going by the recipe links from now on haha ? thank you for sharing your amazing recipe with us Jessie ?

  8. This is so tasty and flexible. Loved it as did our friends. I did on top tomato sauce, grated cheese, diced ham, salt , pepper, spaghetti herbs and powdered onion. Yum. Took 2.5 -3.0 hours

  9. does anyone know if you could make the dough the night before? making this for Christmas and want to try keep tomorrow as easy as possible so prepping everything in advance

    thank you!
