Description

This easy Bread Bowl Recipe yields crusty bread bowls with a soft interior, perfect for serving your favorite soups. Made from simple ingredients like flour, yeast, and warm water, these homemade bread bowls are fluffy, golden, and a delicious alternative to traditional soup bowls.

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 1½ cups warm water (110-115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ tablespoon rapid rise yeast
  • 4 cups bread flour, plus more as needed

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, oil, sugar, salt, yeast, and 2 cups of bread flour. Gradually add the remaining flour half a cup at a time until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and feels smooth but slightly tacky.
  2. Knead Dough: Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, which takes about 1 hour.
  3. Divide and Shape: Gently punch down the risen dough and divide it into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Score and Second Rise: Using a sharp knife, cut an ‘X’ on the top of each dough ball. Cover the dough lightly with a kitchen towel and allow it to rise again in a warm place until doubled, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
  5. Preheat Oven: During the last 15 minutes of the second rise, preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  6. Bake: Bake the dough balls for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Prepare Bowls: To serve, cut a circle out of the top of each bread ball and carefully scoop out the soft interior to create a bowl shape. Ladle hot soup into the bread bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the water temperature is between 110-115°F to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add small amounts of flour gradually during kneading.
  • Let bread bowls cool completely before hollowing out to prevent tearing.
  • Use fresh yeast for the best rise and texture.
  • These bread bowls are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
