As an experiment, I made this without touching the dough with my hands.
Instead, I used a spoon to mix, knead, and shape the dough.

I used a very simple recipe (yeast, water, wholewheat flour, oil), and added a bit of garlic powder and "Italian seasoning" (that's the small black specks in some of the pictures).

I forgot to take a picture with a common object as size reference.
The footprint of the dough ball was roughly the size of a SPAM Single.

Dough immediately after mixing & pseudo-kneading, purely by spoon:

After rising for about one hour (cotton wash cloth was used to cover):

Gently plopped into parchment paper in crockpot:

Covered with wash cloth (to absorb most of moisture) and crock lid (I placed a box on top, to force the lid down onto the cloth and keep the heat in):

Three (3) hours later:

After removing from crockpot, top view:

Turned around, top view:

Inside, after gently ripping open:

Bottom:

Side:

While baking, the aroma was pleasantly distracting. :)

When I tapped the bottom and sides, it didn't have the solid "thunk" of my first crockpot pizza.
Taste was somewhat bland, but was good enough that, after mixing up a batch of dehydrated butter, I ate it all in one sitting. :)
