Find out how to bake great gluten free bread in a crock post (slow cooker). Bake fresh bread in the summer without heating up the kitchen!
I tried and failed and tried and failed again and again to make all different sorts of gluten free bread in my crock pot. But all's well that ends (well), right? I am pleased and proud to announce … that I have successfully baked a loaf of gluten free bread in my crock-pot-slow-cooker-whatever-you-like-to-call-it! You know what this means, right? We will be baking bread all summer long without heating up the house.
My biggest success so far has been the Gluten Free English Muffin Bread from page 74 of Gluten Free on a Shoestring Bakes Bread, so that's the one we'll talk about today. But I'm creeping up on success with other breads, too, so fire up that slow cooker and let's get started! Hey did I mention that you skip the rise—the loaf rises right there in the slow cooker!
Gluten Free Brown Bread —wheat Free With A Hearty, Wheaty Taste
When you're baking this bread in the slow cooker, there are a few tricks to the trade. But good news! I'm gonna tell you alllll of them. After all, what's the point of my ruining batch after batch of bread from GFOAS Bakes Bread if I don't tell you all my secrets so you can skip right to the success? Secret #1: a steamer basket. Secret #2 (from reader Emma Hohl on Facebook): remove the slow cooker insert. Secret #3: vent the top.
The sides and bottom will brown, but the top simply will not. Like a nice brown top? Just place the loaf under your oven's broiler for a few minutes. The kitchen will stay cool, but your loaf will be brown on top. Score! Now the loaf will not rise as evenly as it does in the oven. Especially with the cover propped up a bit, the heat of your slow cooker is just not as even or consistent as the heat of your oven.
I was seriously considering throwing in the towel on this entire endeavor … until I asked YOU for tips on Facebook. And so many of you had suggestions that would have taken me many more failures to arrive at, if I arrived at them at all. With that in mind, if you have more tips for how to cook yeast bread in your slow cooker, feel free to share them in the comments. And let's bake bread, and then break bread, all summer long!!You can make perfect, moist, and delicious gluten free bread in the crockpot slow cooker. The yeast makes the bread rise in this low heat and humid environment that makes fool proof bread!
Gluten Free Bread Maker Recipe: 6 Ingredient White Loaf
If you aren't gluten free, this might not mean as much to you as it does to me. When you go gluten free, you miss bread.
You miss it a lot. There are substitutes---you can have brown rice or corn tortilla wraps, you can put your sandwich fixings on rice cakes, and you can use tortilla chips to scoop up your favorite dip.
I've spent too much time and money trying to make gluten free bread that doesn't stink. I have bought little bags of this and that trying to mix my own flour.
Slow Cooker Lentil Stew
I have added extra xantham gum hoping that I found the perfect amount to create some extra height and lightness, only to have the bread cave in at the very end of the cooking time---leaving me with a mess of crumbs.
But then! Whole Foods came out with a line of gluten free baking mixes that were not only inexpensive, but good. As in tasty. As in light and airy. As in not only palatable, but delicious.
And guess what I just figured out? The dough rises wonderfully when it is cooked in a hot humid environment, like in a CROCKPOT !!!

Gluten Free Slow Cooker Bread
My family loves bread, and because we are “mostly” gluten-free due to my son’s sensitivity and my own, breads are my guiltiest pleasure and I’ve had to push myself to learn how to enjoy food without it.
I wanted so badly to be able to provide my family homemade bread without all the stress of feeling like a pretend baker, which is why I was so intrigued and excited at the prospect of what seemed to be an effortless method for bread-making.
Even though my excitement was piqued, the first recipe was not gluten-free. “Surely, if there are Crock-Pot® bread recipes now, then there’s got to be gluten-free slow-cooker bread recipes, as well” I thought to myself.
Gluten Free Bread Recipe (vegan, Yeast Free)
With Google on my side, I soon stumbled upona very helpful blog by Stephanie O’dea, who explained that the boxed gluten-free bread mix from Whole Foods Market would work perfectly for the Crock-Pot®.
Unfortunately, the closest Whole Foods Market to me was over an hour away, but I did have another box of gluten-free bread from Gluten-Free Pantry.
I followed her directions and my loaf rose beautifully, but with my six-quart Crock-Pot®, I could only use a regular sized bread pan.
The Best Gluten Free Bread (no Knead!)
Onmy second attempt, Iput in half the amount split between two pans, thinking itwould rise to the top of the pan and I would get two loaves out of it.
I also did not use a spoon to prop open the lid like Stephanie did with her recipe, which is supposed to help it cook more evenly.
Instead, I used an oval white Corelle® serving dish. It was oven-safe and the same height as the bread pan, only wider.
Crock Pot Zucchini Bread (gluten Free)
My hope was that the excess space would allow for the bread to rise to the top without spilling over because it could spread out more.
I am beyond pleased with this and excited to share it with you, because it wasn’t difficult at all once I discovered a good system.
It’s less expensive to run a Crock-Pot® than most ovens, and you can make a plethora of slow-cooker bread recipes every summer without heating up your kitchen.
Soft, Fluffy Buckwheat Bread (gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Isn’t it awful when you’re trying to prepare a meal and the oven is making it unbearable to even be in the kitchen?
Overall, bread in a Crock-Pot® is super easy. Just set a timer, walk away, and let the Crock-Pot® do all the work—from rising to baking!
Use a largeslow-cookerif you have one. Mine is asix-quart oval Crock-Pot®, but you could make breads in a circle slow-cooker. You may even have an Instant Pot (InstaPot).

Addcrumpledaluminum foil or use some canning rings laid on the bottom to create an air spacebuffer between the bottom of the pan and the slow-cooker.
NOTE: I used a mix, but I assume you could do things from scratch as my readers later told me. Just follow the same process used here, but with your own ingredients.
In fact, when I originally wrote this article, I planned to do several blog posts dedicated to baking bread, cakes, and many other things in my Crock-Pot®.
How To Make Bread In The Slow Cooker (easy No Oven Recipe)
If you do try my gluten-free Crock-Pot® bread, I’d love to read about your experience and the taste-testing results in the comments below!As we’ve said before, come January we start pulling out the slow cooker for some mid-winter comfort foods. But slow cookers can be used for more than roasting and stewing, as this gluten free slow cooker bread demonstrates! This bread is heavy and sweet like a rye bread but I think my favorite thing about it is that it actually GETS BETTER WITH AGE! It’s good on the day you bake it, better the next day, and at its best the day after that. I think it’s the almond flour that keeps it moist and gets better as it slowly absorbs all the flavours. Whatever the reason, it’s not until day four that this bread finally starts to dry out and lose flavour. (I only know this because Geoff and I showed severe restraint while watching a wonderful golden loaf age away on our counter top. Four days was as much as we could take!) If you don’t like having a freezer full of half eaten loaves of gf bread, and
