Steps
- Prepare Ingredients: Combine 1 cup of warm water, 1 package of active dry yeast, and 1 tsp of sugar in a large bowl. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of rolled oats, and 1 tsp of salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients along with 1/4 cup of honey and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Shape and Transfer: Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased slow cooker.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or until the bread is cooked through and the top is slightly firm to the touch.
- Crisp the Crust: If desired, for a crispier crust, place the bread under a broiler for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
