Yeast-free sourdough bread in a slow cooker
To prepare bread according to this recipe, you will have to be patient, because it takes approximately 7 days to prepare the sourdough alone. It is during this time that it will fully age (ripe) and the resulting bread will be not only tasty, but also healthy. And now we invite you to familiarize yourself with interesting information: the wife of a famous chef from London has been baking bread with the same sourdough starter for 13 years (!). Each time the dough is kneaded, she adds a little fermented dough or sourdough - this component replaces yeast or baking powder. Sourdough is made from various products, but most often from a mixture of sprouted and ground grains, malt, hops and crushed grapes. The leaven is kneaded and renewed from time to time by adding water, as well as a little flour, to maintain its density. The starter should be stored in a cool place.

- The lump of dough must be covered with film (food film), that is, wrapped in a bowl of dough and left in a warm place (in summer and winter, on a windowsill) for 3 days.
- After 3 days the mixture will become porous. You need to remove the top, it will be a small layer, a couple of centimeters thick. We throw it away.
- Take a clean container, pour water (70 ml) into it, transfer the dough, sprinkle with a layer of flour (sifted, no more than 100 g). We need to knead a new lump of dough.
- After kneading, put it in a clean and dry bowl, wrap it in cling film, and leave it in a warm place for 12 hours.
- After 12 hours, we perform similar steps (remove the top part, throw it away, add flour, knead). Only now the dough needs to be left to ferment for 8 hours.
- We repeat our steps one more time (and possibly several times) until the leaven has doubled in size compared to the first batch.
- This will take just 7 days. The resulting starter should be stored in the refrigerator.
- Before you start baking bread, remove the starter from the refrigerator, leave it on the counter and wait for it to warm up. Then you need to take only 1 tbsp from the total amount of starter. sourdough
- Now let's move on and knead the dough to make yeast-free bread in a slow cooker. In a bowl (take a deep one) you need to mix the starter with the egg, sugar and water.
- Add salt, sour cream and vegetable oil to the mixture.
- Flour should be added to the dough little by little, in small portions. Just don’t forget that it needs to be sifted. After each addition of flour, knead the dough, add flour again and continue our steps until the dough is soft. It should stick to your hands a little. Do not add any more flour at this stage.
- Next, we do this: pour a little flour (2-3 tablespoons) onto the table, add the dough and continue kneading with your hands for 5 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a clean towel and leave it on the table to rise. Time – 1 hour. If you wish, transfer to a clean pan, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place.
- After the specified time, the dough needs to be “kneaded” a little again and only after that can it be transferred to the mold.
- Don't forget to grease the bottom and walls of the multicooker bowl with soft butter.
- Close the lid of the device. Leave the dough for 2-2.5 hours.
- After the specified time, program the device by setting the “Baking” mode, time -1.5 hours.
- As soon as you hear the signal, turn the bread over to the other side and continue baking for another 30 minutes.
- As always, the steaming rack will help you turn the bread.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with simple sourdough recipes in order to choose the best option for preparing yeast-free bread in a slow cooker.
Recipe one:
- take a handful of raisins – 100 g;
- sugar – 1 tsp;

Then add flour and mix again. This is best done in a glass container (a half-liter jar will do). The starter should have the consistency of thin pancake dough. The resulting starter must be infused in a warm place for 48 hours (2 days), then the remainder must be placed in the refrigerator.
Recipe two:
- rye flour – 100 g;
- warm water – 100 g.
Sift the rye flour into a glass jar, add water, knead. Cover with clean gauze folded in several layers and leave for 5 days in a warm place.
