Recipe: Homemade Bread Bowls

1^st Ingredients:

2 ½ cups warm water

2 tbsp yeast

1/3  cup sugar

Directions

Combine and let sit for 10 minutes or until yeast is bubbly.

2^nd Ingredients:

1/3 cup oil

1 tbsp salt

6-7 cups white flour (all-purpose)

Directions

Add oil, salt and 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed – if in a bread mixer.

Begin adding the rest of the four 1 cup at a time until 5 cups total. 

Mix on high speed and continue to add the flour – ¼ cup at a time just until the dough begins to clean the sides of the bowl and pulls away toward the middle. Do not add more than 7 cups of flour. 

Knead for 6 minutes.

Divide into 6 pieces. Make round balls. Place on large baking sheet and let rise until doubledin size.

Bake at 350* for 20-30 minutes.

Let cool.

Cut top off and pull out inside bread – leaving a hollowed out bread bowl.

Fill with your favorite soup or chowders – stew or chili work really well, too.

Save the scooped out bread for croutons or serve on a plate next to bowl. You can dunk it into your soup.

Enjoy!

Make it a great one!
