Bread Bowls

This was my first attempt at making Bread Bowls.  I would say they were a huge success and have been made again!

Bread Bowls

  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups warm water 
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 6-1/2 to 7-1/2 cups of bread flour

Directions

  • 1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine sugar, salt, yeast mixture, and 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  • 2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled about 30 minutes.
  • 3. preheat oven to 500°. Punch dough down. Divide and shape into six balls. Place 3 in. apart on two greased baking sheets. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 15 minutes. Using a sharp knife, score the surface with shallow cuts in an X pattern. Bake 2 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 425°. Bake 16-18 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
  • 4. Cut a thin slice off the top of the bread. Hollow out the bottom half, leaving a 1/4-in. shell We used the discarded bread to dip in our soup.  What I had leftover, I put on a cookie sheet and dried out in the oven at 200.  Once they were dried and cooled, I put them through the food processor with some Italian Seasoning, Basil, and Oregano to make Italian-style bread crumbs.

What I Served Them With

I served in these bowls, Loaded Baked Potato Soup, and Philly Cheesesteak Soup.

This is before I cut the tops off.  I used this recipe, normally and made my bowls, then I used 1/2 the recipe and made a few more.  Mine made 10 in total.
