Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Turn off slow cooker.

Run a knife around the edge of slow cooker; transfer bread from cooker to a large serving platter. Spoon any topping and nuts that remain in cooker onto bread; cool slightly. Serve warm.
