French bread, Brioche bread, or even Challah bread all work, just be careful while tossing Brioche bread it's a much softer bread.

You can use any 6qt or larger slow cooker or crockpot for this recipe

Rubbing butter in the slow cooker helps to prevent sticking and allows for those crispy edges.

If you have trouble with moisture in the lid you can place a paper towel under the lid while it cooks to absorg any extra moisture.

Serve with a good quality warm maple syrup.

You could also use pecans instead of walnuts, or add some blueberries.
