Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Slow Cooker White Bread

- #21189

ingredients
1/4 cup warm water
1 package active dry yeast
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
directions
Grease a coffee can and set aside.
Place the 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast evenly over the surface. Let stand until bubbles form on the surface.
In a bowl, combine the dissolved yeast, egg, oil, water, salt, sugar, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix well to combine. Add the remaining flour while stirring until a firm dough is formed.
Place the dough in the prepared coffee can and place in the crock pot. Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours or until the bread is cooked through (tap on the crust and it should sound hollow).
Remove the can from the crock pot (use potholders) and let stand for 5-10 minutes before removing from the can.
Let cool completely then slice. Store the bread in an airtight container.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This turned out pretty well. Not the best bread I've ever had, but I'd make it again. It was pretty easy to make, too. I used disposal aluminum mini-pans because they were the only thing I had that would fit in my crockpot, and they seem to work.

Great Recipe!!!! I used a regular 9X5 loaf pan because a coffee can wouldn't quite fit in my crock pot, and it turned out great!!
I must have done something wrong when trying this recipe last night but it was my first crockpot disaster! I had to throw it away and it was very disappointing because I was dying to try crockpot bread!!
What happened? You'll need to give more info if want anyone to offer suggestions on how to improve the recipe or what might have gone wrong for you.
