3. Turn out on a lightly floured board. I use my counter. Knead for 5-10 minutes or until the dlught is smooth. You may need to add more flour to keep it from sticking.
4. Grease a large bowl and place the dough in it. Cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 1 hour.
5. Turn the dough out again and knead for another minute or two.
6. Put a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the crock-pot. Put the dough on top.
