Wowza, I never knew a recipe could taste this good and be so simple! 2 ingredients is all you need!

Third, put the dough mixture into the slow cooker with care. You should know that the dough will naturally be sticky.

Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on high heat. When you stick a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean, that means it’s done. The top should be firm as well.

5. Remove the lovely loaf from the oven and allow it to cool completely before cutting. It will slice more cleanly when it has cooled down, so patience is key.

Tips and Variations

Now, feel free to get creative with this basic recipe; after all, we all appreciate a little diversity. Toss in some fresh herbs or a generous shake of cheese if your cupboard has the space for it. It only takes a little sharp cheddar or rosemary to make it shine. Keep in mind that any kind of beer—light or dark—will work; the bread will benefit from the unique flavor that each. Use a pale ale if you’re going for a lighter loaf. Grab a stout or porter if you’re in the mood for something heartier. An old-school kitchen trick: if you can’t get self-rising flour, mix 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder with 1/4 teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour. Just be sure to combine everything well. Good luck with your baking, my love.
