Honey Wheat Slow Cooker Bread

Step 1
Place water in a 2-cup or larger glass measuring cup and microwave on high until warm to the touch, but not too hot, about 45 seconds. Add honey, oil, milk powder, salt, and yeast; stir with a fork until combined. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.

Step 2
Add flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix on low speed until combined. Increase to a higher speed and mix until a nice dough forms, adding additional flour if necessary.

Step 3
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead into a ball. Pour oats on the work surface and roll the dough in the oats. Place dough onto a narrow, rectangular piece of parchment paper. Transfer parchment paper and dough into a slow cooker.

Step 4
Cover and cook on High until bread has cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours.
