This corn on the cob recipe for Easy Corn on the Cob is a great
alternative to grilling. This recipe only requires salt, water, and of
course corn, yet it results in the same sweet taste we have all
grown to love. The only difference between this technique and
grilling is that you have to remove the corn husks before you cook
the ears of corn in your slow cooker. Corn on the cob tastes great
with almost any dish, but you may want to serve this corn on the
cob recipe alongside chicken, beef or fish.
COOKING TIME: 4 HRS ON HIGH
INGREDIENTS
water
corn-on-the-cob
salt
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill slow cooker about 3/4 of the way with water. Season liberally with salt.
2. Clean corn of husk and fibers. Trim slightly to fit into slow cooker. Put into water. Corn will
float.
3. Cook on high for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Check occasionally and turn/rotate corn so all
sides have a chance in the water.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a small bowl, stir to combine warm water and yeast. The yeast will dissolve and start to
foam. Set aside until needed.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a spoon, stir
to combine milk, egg, olive oil, sugar and salt. Slowly pour the yeast mixture in and stir.
3. Add the flour and Rosemary, stir until the mixture is combined. If using a stand mixer,
switch to the kneading hook attachment and knead for 5 to 8 minutes on low until the
dough has formed. Place the dough onto a surface.
4. At this time line, your slow cooker with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment
paper with cooking spray or a sprinkling of cornmeal to prevent sticking.
5. With a knife, slice the dough into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball with your hands
and place in the slow-cooker on top of the parchment paper. If using a 6-quart slow-cooker,
use all 12 rolls. If using a 4-quart slow-cooker, use 6 rolls and freeze the remaining for
another use.
6. The dough balls will touch, therefore when cooked they will be pull-apart rolls. If you do not
want them to touch, use less dough & leave a 1 space in between rolls.
7. Cover and cook on low for 1 hour to let the rolls rise. Then switch the heat to high and cook
for 1 more hour. If using a 4-quart slow-cooker, check the rolls at 50 minutes.
8. Remove the rolls by using the parchment paper to lift the rolls out of the slow-cooker. The
rolls should be fluffy and cooked through.
9. If you would like the rolls to be golden on top, remove them from the parchment paper onto
a baking sheet and place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Serve warm.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. IMPORTANT: Do NOT pre-heat your slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, combine the yeast, 1/4 cup warm water, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let set for
10 minutes while it does its own thing and foams.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, oil, 1 cup lukewarm water, salt, sugar, and yeast
mixture and beat with an electric mixer on low for about 2 minutes making sure to scrape
the sides down as you go.
4. Next, add 3 to 3 1/2 cups of flour to the mixture and continue beating with the electric
mixer on low until it is well incorporated and gets gummy. Turn out onto a lightly floured
surface and add a little flour at a time while kneading by hand until the dough becomes
smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Form into a ball.
5. Line a 5-quart slow cooker with parchment paper. Place the ball of dough in the center of
the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat for 2 hours. Not all slow cookers are the same,
so after 1 1/2 hours, check your bread for readiness. The bread will feel firm when you
gently press down on the top. If it isnt done, check it every 30 minutes for readiness.
6. Youll notice your bread top will not be brown. If you like a soft crust, leave the bread as is,
remove and brush with melted butter. If you like a crispier crust, turn your broiler on high.
Brush the top of the bread with egg wash, if desired. Place the loaf on a cookie sheet under
the broiler on the middle rack for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
8. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Grease your slow cooker with coconut or olive oil, or line slow cooker with parchment
paper. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray, dump in batter.
2. Place dough in the slow cooker. You can cover the dough with a paper towel or a thin wash
cloth to absorb the moisture on top. I didn't do that on my first loaf, hence it looks a little
glossy on top.
3. Cook on high 2 1/2 hours checking after 2 hours. Wipe off any excess moisture on the lid
when you take off the lid.
