I like to bake fresh bread at home, both as a way to offer my family 
a delicious accompaniment to their dinners and just because I enjoy 
the process. Baking bread in the slow cooker allows you to achieve a 
tender, perfectly baked loaf without turning on the oven. It's 
especially helpful in the summer.

Prep: 45 min. + rising
Cook: 3 hours + cooling
Makes: 1 loaf (12 slices)

Dissolve yeast in warm cream. In a large bowl, combine egg, sweet 
potato puree, sugar, salt, nutmeg, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; 
beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to 
form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 
about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease 
the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 
18x9" rectangle. Spread pesto to within 1" of edges; sprinkle with 
1/2 cup Parmesan. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long 
side; pinch seam and ends to seal.

Using a sharp knife, cut roll lengthwise in half; carefully turn each 
half cut side up. Loosely twist strips around each other, keeping cut 
surfaces facing up. Shape into a coil; place on parchment paper. 
Transfer to a 6-qt. slow cooker; sprinkle with remaining 2 
tablespoons Parmesan. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Cook, covered, on low until bread is lightly browned, 3 to 3 1/2 
hours. Remove from slow cooker and cool slightly before slicing.
