    This makes a very large loaf, which is fine because I have a very large rectangular slow cooker. This made around 1.2kg of dough.

    For a regular round crockpot-style slow cooker you can divide the dough in half and cook for 1-2 hours, finishing it off under the grill the same way I did with the large loaf.

    Any unused dough can be placed in the refrigerator until you need it. Just return it to room temperature for 5 minutes before you put it into the slow cooker. It should keep up to a week.
