Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon quick rising yeast
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups very warm (but not boiling) (about 100° F)
2 chopped Garlic Cloves
Directions:
Into a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt and garlic. Pour in the hot water and combine well using a rubber spatula. The dough will be sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 3 hours, or until the dough has risen. It will have bubbles and still look a little soft and wet.
Place dough on a well-floured surface. Sprinkle a little more flour on the top of the dough just enough to keep it from sticking to your fingers. Give the dough a few folds, forming it into a ball.
Place the formed dough ball onto a piece of parchment paper. Do NOT use wax paper for this. Lift the parchment paper and dough and place into a 4-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reads 190°-200° F. Check the temperature after 90 minutes if this is the first time you are making bread in your slow cooker.
