Sorry Jared, I don't have a clue but it's a big hunk of meat for sure!

That’s OK. It was worth a shot. It’s 10.6 pounds. I plan on serving this at a VERY special occasion.

Here is the recipe I plan to use. I’m not going to smoke it, I’m going to cook it until it reaches the right internal temp.

Maybe I’ll serve this on Halloween. I just got to figure out how to decorate it.

I took a hind quarter and made a bear ham. I want an opinion on how I cut it. Do you think I did a good job?

I want to know too!

It tastes great! The bottom is toasted, and the top soft. I think I’ll do it again, but now I know the times are precise. Don’t preheat the crockpot, and don’t go over.

Thank you. I used a 1 1/2 pound (two pound might have been been better. I don’t know yet) bread machine sd recipe. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s from this thread.

Ooh! Now I think I’ll try my small crockpot! It might come out just right for round bread slices! You know, the gallon ones that Walmart sells for like $10.

The recipe is originally for baking the bread in a bread machine. I used my kitchenAid mixer since I was using the crockpot. I then used your times as you posted in 32637.

1 1/2-POUND Sourdough LOAF

• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast or instant yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour or Unbleached Bread Flour
• 2 cups ripe (fed) sourdough starter
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 to 6 tablespoons lukewarm water, enough to make a soft dough

1-POUND LOAF

• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast or instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 2/3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour or Unbleached Bread Flour
• 1 1/3 cups ripe (fed) sourdough starter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 to 4 tablespoons lukewarm water, enough to make a soft dough

INSTRUCTIONS

• Place the ingredients into the pan of your machine, in the order suggested by the manufacturer; program for French Bread, or a similar long-rising cycle; and press start.
• Check the dough after about 10 minutes of kneading; add additional water or flour as necessary to make a smooth, soft dough.
• Remove the bread from the machine when it's done, and cool it on a rack.

• Baking in the crockpot
