Crock Pot Zucchini Bread Recipes

SLOW COOKER BREAD

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let sit until frothy or foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Mix flour and salt together in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Add yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined and no traces of flour remain. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and stir again; dough should be tacky but not wet.
• Cover container with the lid. Let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set slow cooker to High. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of your slow cooker.
• Dust a clean work surface with flour. Knead dough briefly with floured hands to get rid of any air pockets. Shape into a round or oval loaf depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
• Sprinkle some of the sesame seeds on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining seeds generously all around the loaf. Place dough in the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
• Cook on High for 2 hours. Lift the lid a couple of times during cooking to release the steam. An instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the loaf should read between 200 and 210 degrees F (93 to 99 degrees C). The surface of the bread should be dry and no longer spongy. Remove the loaf and tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
• Remove loaf from the slow cooker. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour.

SLOW COOKER ZUCCHINI SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix celery into cooked sausage; cook and stir until celery is softened, about 10 minutes.
• Combine sausage mixture, zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, salt, sugar, oregano, Italian seasoning, basil, and garlic powder in a slow cooker.
• Cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.

CROCK POT CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI NUT BREAD

Steps:

• Cream sugar and shortening in mixer, beat in eggs one at a time, add vanilla. Add everything else and mix thoroughly.
• Pour into a greased crock pot bread insert. Cook 3 hours on high, or until the bread tests done with a wooden pick.
• Let stand until it's medium cool to the touch before unmolding. Serve with butter. You can also dust the bread with powdered sugar.
• Possible modifications: no cocoa; substitute 2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp nutmeg for cocoa; substitute 1 cup brown sugar for the white sugar.
