It is difficult to give a definitive answer without knowing the specific type of crock and the recipe being used. However, in general, crocks tend to cook food at a slower pace than traditional ovens. It is recommended to check the bread periodically and adjust the cooking time as needed. It may also be helpful to refer to the manufacturer's instructions or do a quick online search for tips on using a crock for baking bread.
