Ingredients
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 16 oz (480 ml) sour cream
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3¾ cups all-purpose (plain) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, sour cream, butter, and sugar. Mix until well blended. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir well, then add the sour cream mixture along with the raisins. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured board and knead the dough gently and consistently up to 10 times, or only until it is smooth and not sticky. Take care not to over-mix it.
Start with a ball of dough and place it in an oil-sprayed 4-quart (4 L) slow cooker.
Slice the top of your dough with a sharp knife, ensuring you are cutting into a depth of 1/4 inch. Create an 'x' shape with your cuts.
Cover the pot and cook on a high-heat setting for 2¾-3 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Turn off the crockpot and open the lid.
Allow the bread to sit for 10 minutes. Then, use a knife to release the sides of the slow cooker and move it over to a wire rack. Let it cool off a bit and cover it with its lid.
