He changes it up when he wants some whole wheat in it. Here are the ingredients for his whole wheat version:

1 and 1/4 cups lukewarm water

3 tsp yeast

1 tsp salt

2 cups Bread flour

2 tablespoons of flax seed if desired

1 and 1/4 cup whole wheat flour

Some olive oil when kneading


He stirs water, yeast, and salt together in large bowl. Dump in flour and optional flax seed in and mix into a wet , shaggy dough. Let rise 2 hours, covered but not sealed so gas can escape.

Then form into a rough ball.  Knead for ten minutes (He sprays a bit of oil over the ball before kneading. Place in parchment paper lined crockpot and cook in on high 90 minutes or 105 minutes. Crisp in oven on broil for 3-5 minutes for crusty top--watch carefully.
