Slow Cooker Bread

If you don’t own a bread maker or have access to a camp oven, slow cooker bread is the bread for you. Using a slow cooker, you can make a white cob loaf of bread.

A Dutch oven cooking method called the hay box cooking method can also be used to replicate a slow cooker outdoors. This is where you bring a Dutch Oven up to temperature with the bread in it, then place it in a box filled with hay that insulates the Dutch oven making it slow to cool.

After a day of cooking, you return to the campsite, bring it to temperature, and the item being cooked is done.
