Slow Cooker Cheese Herb Bread – UK Recipe

This recipe is based on a cheese and herb bread recipe from *Mary Berry’s Complete Cookbook (Amazon link).

I have adapted this recipe to work in my Morphy Richards 3.5 L Slow Cooker (See my review).

Slow Cooker Cheese Herb Bread – Ingredients

• 350 g strong white bread flour.
• 90 g Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated.
• 1 tsp dried herbs or a couple of sprigs of rosemary, chopped.
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard.
• 1 spring onion, finely sliced.
• 1½ tsp fast-action yeast.
• ½ tsp ground black pepper.
• 1 tsp fine sea salt.
• 300 ml lukewarm milk.
• Vegetable oil for greasing the pot etc.

Slow Cooker Cheese Herb Bread – Method

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. To make a soft sticky dough.
2. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. Until soft and elastic.
3. Shape into a ball and place in a clean oiled bowl and cover.
4. Leave to prove for about an hour. Until doubled in size.
5. Knock back gently, then reshape into a ball.
6. Oil the slow cooker pot, place the dough into the pot and gently push into an oval shape covering the base of the pot. Making sure the surface is level.
7. Cover with the lid and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
8. Place a piece of kitchen paper held in place under the lid, to absorb the excess steam. Turn the slow cooker on High and cook for 90 minutes.
9. After this time, remove the lid and paper towel. Wipe of the excess steam from the lid. Tip the bread out and turn it over, so that you can cook the top. Replace the kitchen towel with a dry piece and cover with the lid.
10. After 40 minutes the base should now also be golden brown and cooked. Turn out and leave to cool on a rack. Wait for about 30 minutes before slicing.

Recipe Notes

1. To ensure the bread gets golden brown and crusty, use a large piece of kitchen paper held in place by the lid. This will absorb the excess steam that collects under the lid. And make sure you turn the bread over, and cook it upside down. So that the top gets browned too.
2. You can also try this recipe with other types of cheese and herb combinations.
