No kneading, no rising Honey Wheat Bread



No kneading, and no rise time makes this bread fast and easy. Not to mention delicious!! This was a crockpot recipe that I adapted to conventional oven.

Ingredients:
2 cups warm (not hot) milk
2 TB canola oil (it's healthier than vegetable oil)
1/4 Cup honey
3/4 tsp salt
1 pckg active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
3 cups whole wheat flour, divided
3/4 to 1 Cup bread flour (or all-purpose flour)

1. Grease or spray bread pan. In electric mixer, combine milk, oil, honey salt, yeast, 1 1/2 cups wheat flour and 1/2 cup bread flour. Mix at medium low speed for 2 minutes.
2.Gradually add remaining wheat flour and 1/4 to 1/2 cup bread flour. Mix until completely combined. Unlike other bread recipes, this dough is VERY sticky. You may be tempted to add more flour, but you don't need to.
3. Transfer to prepared pan and cook in a 325 degree oven for 1 hour. If your crock pot is big enough, you can also put the bread pan with the dough in it, in the crock pot and cook it on high for 3 hours.

Triple Chocolate Cake in the Crockpot

We made this for dessert when we had the missionaries over for dinner last week. Because I knew it would be easy, I asked Alan to make it. He did, and it turned out really moist and delicious. Ingredients:

18 1/2 oz. pkg chocolate cake mix

3.9 oz pkg instant chocolate pudding mix

1 cup (8 oz ) sour cream (I used fat free, it was fine)

4 eggs

1 cup water

3/4 cup oil

1 cup chocolate chips


1. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, water, and oil in electric mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips.

2. Pour into greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours, or high 3-4 hours, or until toothpick inserted near center comes out with moist crumbs.

3. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
