Homemade Gluten-free Bread from the Crockpot

Bread, oh glorious bread!  It's a staple of life, one of those things we take for granted yet can't seem to live without.  I mean, where would peanut butter and jelly be without bread?  When you start the gluten-free life, conventional bread is the first thing that goes, often with much mourning (at least it was that way in our house). 

If you're suffering from bread withdrawals, may we suggest you look into Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois's book fantastic recipe book Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day?  Most of the book covers wheat breads of various kinds and incarnations, but there is a very well done section on gluten-free breads using the five minute a day strategy for bread baking.  We've tried several of their gluten-free recipes and have been pleased with all of them, plus, as a bonus, this way for making bread is so freaking easy (score!).  Their blog, Bread in 5, is also a good resource for gluten-free recipes and suggestions for using the five minute a day bread method.  In a recent post Zoe shared how to make gluten-free bread in a the crockpot which looks like a quick and easy way to have some really delicious bread without a lot of fuss or time investment.
