For a richer flavor, try using a combination of bread flour and whole wheat flour. Experiment with adding other seeds or rolled oats for added texture and flavor. Be sure to let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, combine 1 cup lukewarm water and yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved. Allow to sit for approximately 10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy and foamy.
02
StepIn a large plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, mix the bread flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until everything is evenly combined and no dry flour remains. Gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, stirring until the dough is tacky but not wet.
03
StepCover the container with the lid and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
04
StepLine the bottom of your slow cooker with a piece of parchment paper. This prevents sticking and aids in easy removal.
05
StepLightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Gently fold the dough to release any air pockets. Shape it into a round or oval loaf, depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
06
StepSprinkle some sesame seeds on the bottom of the parchment-lined slow cooker. Generously sprinkle the remaining seeds all over the loaf. Carefully place the dough into the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
07
StepCook on High for 2 hours. During cooking, lift the lid a couple of times to release steam. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the loaf to check for doneness. It should read between 200 and 210 degrees F (93 to 99 degrees C). The surface of the bread should be dry and no longer spongy. Remove the loaf and tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
08
StepCarefully remove the loaf from the slow cooker using the parchment paper as a sling. Transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving. This will take at least 1 hour.
