Slow Cooker Honey Apple Pork Loin
Serve with:
Sweet Potatoes, mashed or roasted whole
Rice or Sourdough Bread or Artisan Bread
Green Salad
Shmanigan Berry Crumble
Artisan Bread
(Submitted by Becca Esmond)
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups warm water
¾ tablespoons yeast
¾ tablespoon salt
3 cups flour (plus a bit extra)
Directions:
1. Mix ingredients and let sit for 4-5 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 425° and heat Dutch oven up as well. (I've baked this on a cookie sheet and that works too, but a Dutch oven is optimal).
3. Form dough into round loaf. When Dutch oven is hot, add a tablespoon or 2 of olive oil to the bottom of the pan, place loaf in dish, sprinkle with kosher salt and bake for 20 min with lid on, then ~20 minutes with lid off until loaf is golden and crispy.
(I guess I would call this No Fail Artisan Bread. It's always worked for me!)

Stick of butter (8 tablespoons)
