Spray a slow cooker with cooking spray. Line slow cooker with parchment paper, trimming edges of paper to just below rim; spray paper with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to yeast mixture, beating just until combined. Add melted butter and egg; beat just until a dough forms. Switch to the dough hook attachment; beat a medium speed until dough is smooth and elastic, 5 to 7 minutes.
