Use slow cooker to thaw and raise bread. It gives it a beautifully brown crusty round loaf.
Generously grease frozen bread loaf. Place in completely greased baking pan. Place pan in pot, cover and heat on low 2 to 3 hours, or until bread is thawed and starting to rise.
Turn to high and bake 2 to 3 hours or until it is brown and tests done.
