INSTRUCTIONS:
- Pick a loaf pan that can easily fit inside your slow cooker.

- Then, plug it in & warm it empty on high mode.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour of almond & coconut, psyllium husk, powder of baking, onion, & garlic, and salt in a bowl(big).
- In a separate bowl, combine the butter(melted)/coconut oil, eggs, apple cider vinegar, and almond milk.
- Mix them well, then include the chopped bacon, mozzarella, & cheddar in that liquid mix.
- Now, gradually include the solid mix into the liquid mix & combine gently until a smooth & thick batter forms.
- As your batter is ready, transfer it to the slow cooker & level the top.
- Use a kitchen towel(clean) to cover the slow cooker to soak up the moisture.
- Then place the lid on it & cook on full mode for ~three hours.
- Then, insert a knife in the centre & check if any liquid traces come out with a knife or not.
- If you observe a clean knife, then your slow-cooked bread is ready.

TIPS:

FAQs:
Will flax eggs work for this recipe?
- Flax eggs work best in recipes where we only need their glue function. Here we also need to raise our bread, which flax eggs won’t do. That’s why flax eggs won’t work for the bread. For vegan versions, you may try the combo of vinegar + baking soda + flax eggs.
Can I use any other cooking method?
- Yes, you may use the oven at 175 °C for ~fifty mins to bake the bread.
What might be the reason if I find my bread wet from the center?
- There may be two possible reasons: The bread needs to cook more. You need to keep the towel under the lid to soak up the excess moisture buildup.
