Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1-1/2 teaspoons dill weed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground mustard

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times or just until dough comes together. Shape dough into a 6-in. round loaf. Using a sharp knife, score surface with 1-in.-deep cuts in a crisscross pattern. Place in a greased 5-qt. slow cooker.
Cook, covered, on high 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a thermometer reads 190°-200°.
Preheat broiler. Remove bread; place on a baking sheet. Broil 6-8 in. from heat 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
