SD Baked in Mini Slow Cooker or Crock Pot

[achookwoman]

Given the success of the bread cooked in the slow cooker,  I decided to buy a mini slow cooker. 1 and 1/2 liters.  why not Sour Dough and why not Fruit bread.?  Both proved very successful.
SD will not be hurried ,so there is little time saved, however the real bonus is that unlike oven baked SD,  this bread when toasted does not burn around the edges.
THESE MINI LOAVES ARE PERFECT FOR 2 PEOPLE.

180g bread flour,( I use Laucke Crusty White Mix) If using Bread flour add 1/2 teaspoon of both salt and sugar.
170 SD starter
80g.  warm water.

Method
Place all ingredients in TMX and Knead for 4 minutes.
Line Slow Cooker bowl with silicon or baking paper.  Make sure there are no holes for the dough to leak through.
Scrape dough into lined bowl.
Spray with water and place lid on.
Place in warm place to double. May take up to 6 hours.
Sprinkle with seeds,(optional)
When doubled, place into Slow Cooker and turn on to HIGH.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours.

Notes
These times are based upon a cheap, ($20) 1  1/2 liter SC from Safeway.
The doubling time will depend upon the warmth of the rising atmosphere.

Uni, do you want me to post you some?

Chookie, why can't you put it straight into the SC from the TMX and let it rise in there before turning the machine on?

It looks great and what a bonus that it toasts up even better than oven cooked sourdough.

It looks lovely Chookie. I might do my next SD in the slow cooker.

Judy, I did put it into the SC pot straight from the TMX .  I think it needs the time to develop the taste and texture.  The method I used is the same as I developed for baking SD in the bread machine.  When I have time I might see what happens if I bake it immediately.  I seemed to need the time to fill the pot.

Uni, do you want me to post you some?

Sorry Chookie, I misread 'When doubled, place into Slow Cooker and turn on to HIGH.'  I didn't realise you'd taken the bowl out of the slow cooker and was using that for the rise

Brilliant, Chookie.  I'll be working normal days (from 9.00 am - 6.00 pm).  I can only be sure that I can arrange cover at work on the Monday, so it would probably have to be in Melbourne.  Would that work?
