Using a dough hook, knead the dough on low speed until it forms a smooth ball and begins to pull away from the sides and bottom of the bowl. This will take about 4-5 minutes. If your bread dough feels dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. If the dough feels very sticky, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. The dough should feel tacky and smooth, not sticky or dry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let Rise:<\/strong> Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, until doubled in size.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Form Ball:<\/strong> Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Take a piece of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/parchment-paper-roll-50-sq-ft-up-38-up-8482\/-\/A-52018898#lnk=sametab\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">parchment paper<\/a> and place it into the crockpot, making sure it\u2019s big enough to line the sides. Once the dough doubles in size, gently transfer it to the counter. The oil from the bowl should coat the dough so it doesn\u2019t stick. Shape the dough into a round ball by cupping your hands around the sides and pulling it toward yourself. Do this a few times until a smooth, round ball forms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cook\">Cook<\/h4>\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Cook:<\/strong> Carefully place the dough ball into the slow cooker and cover with the lid.

Using a dough hook, let the dough knead on low speed until the dough forms a smooth ball and begins to pull away from the sides and bottom of the bowl. This will take about 4-5 minutes.
