Healthy Slow Cooker Caraway-Sauerkraut Beer Bread

A slow cooker bread filled with healthy ingredients.

Bread is very essential especially during the holidays fro my family. My hubby and all my other relatives love having bread, cookies or anything to pair up with coffee, tea, hot choco or any warm drink they can get a hold of for the holidays. Well, this is even a very common thing on a daily basis.

And since I love my slow cooker so much and I really want to be able to cook anything in it then what better way than you have this Caraway-Sauerkraut Beer Bread done in it. Ok, you might think that the word beer there is a joke, but it isn’t. This is actually a very healthy recipe full of fiber. The beer there isn’t bad at all. And it is very easy to make as all other slow cooker recipes I have shared.

You can have this for the holidays as well as it is perfect for the afternoon snack or even after your meals. A small slice will make you want to prepare this every occasion. So what are you waiting for? Try cooking it up and tell us what you think.

Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Turn off cooker. Carefully remove lid so condensation from lid does not drip onto bread. Cover opening of slow cooker completely with paper towels; place lid on top. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Run a knife around edges of cooker; remove bread from cooker. Cool completely on a wire rack.
