Valerie's Review: 2010-05-02
I saw someone on another website make a comment about this recipe. They didn't have good luck with it. So, I decided to see if it was the recipe, the cook, or the appliance that was to blame. I tested this recipes in TWO slow cookers: one oval one that tends to overcook a lot of foods (you know which brand I'm talking about!) and one round model that heats like a slow cooker should. Both are 6 qt size. The oval unit did not cook the bread evenly. Because this unit starts out too hot the bread rose unevenly. The bottom was burned and the middle was undercooked. The round (properly heating) unit made a very nice loaf of bread. It was evenly cooked and rose uniformly. So it may have been the cook, it really didn't seem to be the recipe, but it was definitely the appliance that contributed to the other review's bad luck. Now, why only 4 stars? It lacked just a little flavor for my preference. I was hoping for more of a honey-ish flavor. This recipe really was easy though. I mixed it in my kitchenaid mixer, put it in the crockpot and 3 hours later we had bread. There was no kneading, no rising - just simplicity!
