  • 1 cup Sourdough starter Brings tangy flavor and helps the bread rise.
  • 3 cups All-purpose flour The backbone of your bread, gives it structure.
  • 1 cup Warm water Activates the sourdough starter.
  • 1 tablespoon Salt Enhances flavor and strengthens dough.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Adds richness and keeps the bread moist.

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and olive oil. Stir well.
  2. Gradually mix in the flour and salt until fully incorporated.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Grease your crockpot with cooking spray or olive oil.
  6. Deflate the dough gently, shape it into a round loaf, and place it in the prepared crockpot.
  7. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours, until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Carefully remove the bread from the crockpot and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months. You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise overnight in the fridge.
