A simple and affordable bread recipe from Save Make Do.
Crockpot bread
Ingredients
15g dried yeast
4 tsp sugar
2 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups wholemeal flour
pinch salt
4 cups (approx.)
white flour
Put the yeast in a bowl with 1/2 tsp of the sugar. Pour on 1/4 cup of the warm water and leave for 5–10 minutes. Place the remaining water in a large bowl, and mix in the yeast mixture and the remaining sugar. Add the wholemeal flour and salt. Combine using a wooden spoon. Mix in enough of the white flour to make a stiff dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as necessary. Lightly grease the crockpot with oil or butter and put the dough into the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. The bread is ready when it sounds hollow when tapped.

‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
While I’ve always been a fan of the old camp song “On Top of Spaghetti,” I firmly believe that’s the very last place a meatball belongs.
