Herb Bread

I found this Herb Bread recipe over at Sandra’s Slow Cooking Thursday post at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. The photo of her bread looked so irresistible that I just had to make it myself. She cooked the bread in her slow cooker. I was planning to use my slow cooker too but my cooker was too large for the loaf of bread so I baked it in the oven.
This bread uses yeast but does not require kneading or rising, saving time in the kitchen.
Of course, I adapted the recipe using Watkins ingredients.
Herb Bread
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1-1/3 cups warm water
1 envelope active dry yeast (1 scant Tbsp. )
2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. cooking oil
1 tsp. Watkins Oregano
1 tsp. Watkins Ground Sage
1/4 tsp. Watkins Organic Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp. Watkins Onion Powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup all purpose flour
(Sandra’s recipe) Stir first amount of sugar in warm water in large warmed bowl. Sprinkle with yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes. Stir to dissolve yeast. Add next 8 ingredients. Beat on low to moisten. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Work in second amount of flour.
Turn into greased 3-1/2 quart slow cooker. Smooth top with wet spoon or hand. Place 5 paper towels between top of slow cooker and lid. Put wooden match or an object 1/8-inch thick between paper towels and edge of slow cooker to allow a bit of steam to escape. Do not lift lid for the first 2 hours cooking time. Cook on High for about 2-1/2 hours. Loosen sides with knife. Turn out onto rack to cool. Cuts into 14 slices.
(My recipe adaptation for the oven) Stir first amount of sugar in warm water in large warmed bowl. Sprinkle with yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes. Stir to dissolve yeast. Add next 8 ingredients. Beat on low to moisten. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Work in second amount of flour.
Spoon into a greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch glass bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Remove pan from oven and turn loaf onto rack to cool. Brush top of loaf with softened butter.
