Dissolve yeast in water. Combine with milk, oats, salt, oil, honey, egg and wheat germ. Add

flour and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Turn dough immediately into

bowl or can and cover *loosely* with foil. In bottom of slow-cooker place 1/2 C water and a

trivet or some crumpled foil. Place can or bowl on this, cover and bake on high for 3 hours.

minutes work time! A great way to have nutritious, fresh bread with a minimum of fuss,

especially for small families. You don't waste oven energy for just one loaf of bread. Nice

for a hot summer day.
