White Bloomer Bread

• Place the flour, yeast and salt into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the warm water and oil and mix to combine into a dough.
• Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead for approx 5 minutes.
• Add a little oil to the bottom of a clean bowl.
• Place the dough inside, then turn over so all the dough is covered with a little of the oil.
• Cover the bowl loosely with a cloth or some oiled food wrap.
• Set aside in a warm place to allow the dough to rise, approx 1-1 ½ hours.
• Line the base and sides of your Crockpot bowl with a layer of foil then parchment paper.
• Turn the unit on High and allow to preheat.
• Knead the risen dough lightly to remove the air.
• Shape into a ball or an oblong and place into the warmed bowl.
• Place a clean t towel underneath the lid to prevent any condensation dripping onto your bread.
• Cover with the lid and bake on High for approx 2 ½ hours.
• Remove the bread from the bowl and place onto a wire rack.

Tip – For a crispy crust and extra browning place into a hot oven for 10 minutes.
